Once you click on the Close Cycle icon, the Close Cycle modal window will display on the screen. Click on the Confirm button to close the cycle. Once you click on the Confirm button, a message will be displayed on the screen showing the date on which the cycle has been closed and the user’s name who closed the cycle. 

Users can also open the cycle by simply clicking on the Open Cycle icon.

 

  • Copy Cycle Link: AIO Tests lets users share the direct link to the cycle with other users. To copy the cycle link, all you need to do is click on the Copy Cycle Link icon displayed on the top right corner of the cycle execution detail page.

Once you click on the Cycle detail icon, a right-side panel window will open up with some quick details of the cycle. Click on the new tab icon to open the cycle in a new window.

To generate the reports specific to a cycle, simply click on the Reports icon located at the top right corner of the cycle execution detail page and select the desired type of report that you want to generate from the drop-down menu. Once you click on the desired option, a new window will open in a new window showing the reports.

Status Bar 

The Status bar on the Cycle Execution detail page gives a quick overview of the different things happening in the cycle such as cycle’s total Actual Effort logged, assigned testers, and execution statuses. 

  • Actual Effort: It shows the total time invested by the testers on that particular cycle in the execution process. The below image shows that so far 9hr and 6 min actual effort has been logged.

By hovering over actual effort, users can also view estimated effort along with actual effort.

 

  • Assigned Testers: The status bar also shows the list of all the testers that are assigned to that particular cycle. The below image shows that 4 testers are assigned to that cycle. 

 

  • Execution Statuses: The execution statuses show the status of cases in that particular cycle such as passes, failed, blocked, in-progress, and not run. By clicking on the status name, you can view the cases in that particular status. It lets users review particular status cases (unclicking execution status will show the whole list again). 

 

Grouping 

The grouping icon on the cycle execution detail page lets users view the cases list grouped by Sets and Folders. Users just need to click on the Group icon and select the Set/Folder option from the drop/down menu.
