Execute tests

The starting point for test execution in Tricentis Test Management for Jira is a test case. For each test case, you create an associated test run to document the test results. During the documentation process with Tricentis Test Management for Jira, you attach relevant resources such as screen captures, comments, or files.

Working with a test run is a vital part of the product development cycle. It is important for testers to add as many details and resources as possible so that stakeholders, developers, and QA teams can easily assess and track the testing progress.

If you encounter a problem during the execution of a test run, create defects (bugs) to make the rest of the team aware of the issue you discovered. This helps you track any unwanted behavior. All test runs contain specialized tabs where you can keep track of defects, attachments, and comments associated to it.

In Tricentis Test Management for Jira, you organize your test runs in test cycles. Use them to organize your test runs into releases, features, or specifications.
