Users can customise the run status to suit their organisation’s process. This article covers rules governing the run statuses and ways to customise them.
Overview
Run Statuses can be found under Project Settings as shown below.
Only Jira/Project admins can take actions on this page. For other users, the page will be shown in a read-only manner.
In AIO Tests each run status has Type and Execution Completed flag associated with it.
Run status type determines the meaning and behaviour of the run status. Run status types are NOT RUN, IN PROGRESS, PASSED, FAILED & BLOCKED.
Execution completed flag is used in reports to determine execution of which Case is considered as done in a Cycle.
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 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 is already done.
Adding a new Run Status
To add a new run status, click on Add as shown below.
Provide the name, select type and click on Save button.
Note:
A new status cannot have a name that already exists.
Once a run status is created, it’s type cannot be changed.
Execution completed flag can be updated only for run statuses of type FAILED.
First run status of type NOT RUN will be used as the default status for any new Run created in the Cycles.
Editing Run Status
Users can edit the existing run statuses by clicking on the pencil icon as shown below and perform necessary actions. Click on Save to confirm changes.
Note:
Run statuses can be renamed. But updated status cannot be have a name that already exists.
Execution completed flag can only be updated for FAILED type statuses.
Reordering Run Statuses
The order in which the run statuses appear here is the order in which they show in the Status drop-downs in the rest of the app.
Users can change the order by clicking on Reorder as shown below. The handle appears next to each status, so that users can drag and drop for the desired order. Click Save to save the new order.
Deleting Run Status
Users can delete an existing run status. While deleting a run status, users need to specify an alternative run status. All the existing runs in the deleted run status will be moved to the alternative run status.
To delete a run status click on the delete icon next to the status.
Deletion of a run status is done via a batch job that runs every 5 minutes. While the status is marked for deletion, users cannot delete the specified alternative status.
Note:
At-least one run status of type NOT RUN, PASSED & FAILED should be present.
While deleting, selection of alternative status follows below rules
Run status of type PASSED can be moved only to alternative status having PASSED type.
Run status of type FAILED can be moved only to alternative status having FAILED type.
Run status of type NOT RUN / IN PROGRESS / BLOCKED can be moved to any alternative status having NOT RUN / IN PROGRESS / BLOCKED type.
