Note

Only Jira/Project admins or designated AIO Admins can take actions on this page. For other users, the page will be shown in a read-only manner.

In On AIO Tests, each run status has a Highlight color, Type and Execution Completed flag associated with it

The test management tool allows users to assign colors for highlighting the statuses they have defined. Admin can choose any color of their preference for each of the Run Statuses to differentiate between different types of run statuses. 

To change the color of a run status, users need to click on the Plus (+) icon for the desired run status in the Highlight color column and choose the color of their preference by using any of the three methods. Once you have selected the desired color, click on the Save button to apply the changes. The black background shows how the color will look if ‘Dark Theme’ is being used.

...

Note: Users can also enter the HEX code/RGB value to select the color of their preference for Run/ Execution statuses. 

...

Once the admin sets the color for the Run/Execution statuses, each user can choose how they want to use the execution status highlight by selecting the desired theme customization option in My Settings.

Run status type determines the meaning and behaviour behavior of the run status. Run status types are NOT RUN, IN PROGRESS, PASSED, FAILED & BLOCKED.

Execution completed flag is used in reports to determine the execution of which Case is considered as done in a Cycle. This has direct impact on reports showing incomplete and done work.

By default, AIO Tests comes with 5 run statuses - Not Run, In Progress, Passed, Failed and Blocked as shown in the image above.

Below operations can be performed for run statuses:

  • New run status can be created and mapped to one of the types.

  • Existing run status can be renamed and re-ordered.

  • An existing run status can be deleted.

Each project will have its own set of Run Statuses. You can use “Import Settings“ under Project Settings to copy the settings from an existing project where customisation customization is already done.
