Edit Test Logs After Execution

You can edit a Test Log after execution; however, you must be the assigned tester of the Test Log or a project administrator.

You can edit the following information for a Test Log after execution.

  • Test Log properties

  • Statuses of the Test Log or Test Steps

    Editing a status will automatically update the executed end date to the date that you saved the modification.

  • Linked Defects

  • Attachments for the Test Log or Test Step Logs

You cannot make the following modifications, as doing so would create a new Test Case version.

  • Edit Test Case description and preconditions

  • Edit Test Step descriptions and expected results

  • Add, reorder, or remove Test Steps

  • Add or remove Test Step attachments

Determine whether a Test Log has been edited

Once a Test Log has been edited, an asterisk appears next to the Test Log number on the Execution History tab, indicating that the Test Log was modified after it was originally saved. A summary of changes made to Test Logs can be reviewed on the History tab.
