Check your test runs

The Executions tab in the Elastic Execution Grid user interface shows the state of your tests. This gives you a good overview of the state of your system under test. Did it perform as expected? Or are there areas you may need to pay attention to and re-test?

The tab displays the following information:

The state of your tests. Did your Flows A Flow determines the sequence of your tests. It consists of other Flows, which in turn consist of Units. pass or fail?
The progress of your tests. How far along are your tests?
Detailed information on individual Flows, including logs and recordings.

Access the Executions tab

To access the Executions tab, click on Executions in the menu bar on the left.

You can also check your results via REST API. For information on how to do so, see the Elastic Execution Grid API Swagger documentation.

Navigate the Executions tab

You can search for a particular Flow in the table header, or you can sort and filter results.

Check the state

The Current state column displays the state of a Flow:

State	Description
Pending	Waiting for execution.
Running	Execution is in progress.
Canceling	Execution is being canceled. This status shows from the moment that you cancel a Flow until all Units The smallest unit of testing in your Flow. The concept is the equivalent of a TestCase in Tricentis Tosca. that are being executed at the time of canceling are finished.
Canceled	Execution was canceled or has timed out. Timeouts happen for the following reasons: The Agent Agent machines are the machines on which you execute your tests. They host the Agent Service and the Runners. The Agent Service receives the Flow from the server and directs it to the required Runner. The Runner actually executes the test. doesn't respond within 12 hours. There is an issue with the system under test, for instance if a page doesn't load.
Succeeded	The tests passed.
Failed	The tests failed. If one Unit fails, the entire Flow reports as Failed.

Check the progress

The Progress column displays the progress of a Flow:

Progress	Description
Blue bar	The execution is pending or running.
Green bar	The execution has succeeded.
Red bar	The execution has failed.
Gray bar	The execution has been canceled.

To get detailed information, hover over the progress bar. The subsequent pop-up lists all Units and their current results.

Check the execution date

The Triggered on column shows when an execution was triggered. The time is the local time of the machine with which you access Elastic Execution Grid.

Sort and filter results

You don't have to wade through the whole list of results to get the information you need. Instead, you can sort and filter:

Sort in ascending or descending order.
Filter by selecting options from the drop-down menu.
Out-of-the-box custom filters at the top of the page allow you filter for completed or running executions. Click on a filter to hide all other results.
You can also filter results by a specific date or time frame when tests were triggered.

Filter results by a specific date or time frame

Forward filter results

You can forward the results of your filters to other users, for instance for reporting purposes.

When you apply a filter, the URL changes. To forward results, copy and forward the filter URL.

Create custom filters

If you find yourself using the same filters over and over, you can save them as permanent custom filters. Then you don't have to filter manually every time.

You can create up to 3 additional custom filters.

To create a custom filter, follow the steps below:

Filter your data as needed.
Applying filters activates the Create custom filter button. Click the button to create a new custom filter.

Create a new custom filter

This adds a new filter field to the top of the table. Name your custom filter.

Name your custom filter

To delete a custom filter, click the x in the custom filter field.

Clear filters

To remove any filters that you have currently applied, click Clear all filters. This clears the current filters; it doesn't delete your custom filters.

View detailed results

The detail view of a Flow gives you a step-by-step account of what was tested, how Elastic Execution Grid ran these tests, and how your system under test reacted. This allows you to detect and fix vulnerabilities early on.

To open the detail view, click on the name of the Flow in the Executions tab.

The detail view consists of the following elements:

A header bar with summary information on the latest/current run. Additionally, you can cancel pending or running executions by clicking on Stop.
A table with detailed information on the content of the Flow.
For Tricentis Tosca tests, the degree of detail depends on the execution type you chose when you triggered your tests in Tricentis Tosca. If you chose SequentialMultipleMachines or Parallel, you get results on Unit (TestCase) level.

Detail view of a Flow, down to Unit level

Additionally, you can drill down even further. Click on an object in the table to view the following:

A detailed execution log.
A recording of the execution. Elastic Execution Grid only creates recordings if your admin has configured the executing Agent for recordings.
Attachments, if your test framework generates attachments during execution.

You can search and filter for Units and download the log, recording, and/or attachments.
