Questions people ask
How do I see the execution history of a test case in Jira?
Open Test Execution Explorer and click a run. The run panel lists every run of that test case in your sources, by cycle. In a cycle with a rerun, the last run counts.
Can I compare a test run with the previous run, step by step?
Yes. In the run panel, select "Compare with the previous run". It marks new, removed, moved and edited steps, and changed results and actual results. The previous run is the run before it in the same cycle, or else the newest earlier finished run in another cycle.
How do I print a test record with signatures for an audit?
Select Export, then "Print record (PDF)". Pick the content, the signature lines (Executed by, or Executed by and Reviewed by) and the layout. The record has a cover, a contents page and one block per run. The signature lines are empty lines to sign by hand.
Which test cases fail most often?
Ask "Top failing test cases". It lists the test cases with 2 or more Failed or Blocked runs, the most failures first, with all their runs.
