Reset specific test case result to not run

Post by timvdv »

Hi, another question - Is it possible to reset a test case result back to "not run"?

We sometimes have testers accidentally setting the wrong test case to Passed/Failed/Blocked - when it should remain "not run" - e.g. when they start executing in the wrong test plan.

Is there a way to reset test results back to "not run" status without having to delete records in the database?

Thank you in advance.

hi,

I think it is not possible to reset this without accessing the Database directly. I didnt find any such option in the GUI.

one option would be to create a new status (like accidental_run or so) and change it to this. but then again you will have 2 entries in the execution history, so it probablty doesnt help either.

I hope someone else has some better idea. i could use it to :)

not run is not written to DB, then once a test case has been runned you can not return to not run.
You can enable delete execution and then delete exec from GUI

Thanks!

For other readers - from 1.8 install manual:
Availability to delete execution result by an user:
ENABLED -> User can delete an execution result
DISABLED -> User can not. [DEFAULT VALUE]
$tlCfg->exec_cfg->can_delete_execution = DISABLED;
