Work with execution results

Once you have run your ExecutionLists, you can analyze and process the results of your tests.

ExecutionList Demo Application after execution

In addition to your folder structure, ExecutionLists typically contain the following objects:

Object

Description

ActualLog

The ActualLog of an ExecutionList contains the current execution results of the ExecutionList as a whole. When you execute the ExecutionList again, Tricentis Tosca overwrites the log.

ArchivedLog

An ArchivedLog archives the latest test results from the ActualLog at the time you create it (see chapter "Archive your ActualLog").

ExecutionEntry, passed

The execution of this TestCase was successful.

ExecutionEntry, failed

The execution of this TestCase failed.

ExecutionEntries fail when the system under test does not behave as expected.

Typically, a failure indicates that Tricentis Tosca found an error in the system under test.

ExecutionEntry with an error

The execution of this TestCase returned an error.

ExecutionEntries return an error when an issue with the environment keeps Tricentis Tosca from completing the test. For instance, if you have misspelled a command or an exception occurs.

Typically, an error indicates a flaw in the TestCase or the environment.

ExecutionEntry with no result

This ExecutionEntry has not been executed. It was created from a TestCase with the TestCaseWorkState COMPLETED.

TestCaseLog

Every ExecutionEntry has its own TestCaseLog. This log contains the test results of the ExecutionEntry and indicates its test state:

  • Passed:

  • Failed:

  • Error:

  • No result:

When you execute the ExecutionEntry again, Tricentis Tosca creates a new TestCaseLog.

TestCaseLogEntry

Right-click on a TestCaseLogEntry to select one of the following options from the context menu:

  • Jump to TestStep to jump directly to the TestStep.

  • View TestStep in TestCase to jump to the TestCase that contains the TestStep and view the TestStep.

TestMandate

Available in multi-user workspaces only.

TestMandates allow several testers to execute the same tests simultaneously and independently. For more information, see chapter "Work with TestMandates".

Analyze and process execution results

Once you have run your ExecutionLists, you can process the results:
