Test Status Types

All tests defined in the Testing window and 'Test Details' dialog have a status value to show what point in the testing cycle the test has reached. The system values you can select from the test 'Status' field are:

Not Run
Pass
Fail
Deferred and
Canceled

You can add to or replace any of these values with your own custom values.

Access

Ribbon

Configure > Reference Data > Project Types > General Types > Test Status

Customize Test Status Types

Field/Button	Usage	See also
Status	Type the name of the Test status to define.
Make Default	To make the selected test status the default for all test 'Status' fields, select the checkbox.
New	Clear the fields to define a new Test status.
Save	Save the Test status definition and add it to the Type list.
Delete	Remove the currently selected Test status from the Type list.
Type	Lists the currently available Test status types.
	Move the selected type higher or lower in the 'Type' list. This defines the ordering used in the test 'Status' drop down combo boxes, and in sorting any report or list when the Test Status Type is used as the sort-by property. For example: you have run several tests on a Package, and you run a Test Details report; then you sort on the 'Status' column. The report entries are grouped by test status, in the order you defined in this 'Type' field.
Sort Alphabetically	Reorganize the entries in the Type list into alphabetical order.
Restore Defaults	Remove all customized Test status values and restore the system defaults.

Notes

You can transport customized Test status types between models, using the 'Configure > Model > Transfer > Export Reference Data' and 'Import Reference Data' ribbon options
