Create a Test Run

  1. In Navigation, click Test Runs. The Test Runs page loads displaying a table of existing Test Runs.

  2. In the toolbar of the Test Runs table, click Create to launch the Create Test Run dialog box.

  3. In the ID field, enter a unique ID. The value you enter must not be used by another Test Run in the project.

    The ID field does not appear if your project is configured to generate Test Run IDs automatically.

  4. Fill in the Title field with a human-friendly title for the Test Run. The title appears together with the ID in macro output, report Widgets, object enumerations, combo box lists, and generated defects in the Polarion user interface as well as in email notifications. If you leave Title empty, only the ID appears.

    Providing a title is recommended to help users differentiate Test Runs in a listing, even if they have autogenerated IDs.

  5. In the Template field, select the desired Test Run template from the list of available templates.

  6. Click Create Test Run to create the new Test Run.

Modify Test Run properties

The values in the properties of a Test Run are inherited from the Test Run template from which it is derived. If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify a Test Run's properties. For example, if the template specifies one or more projects from which Test Cases can be selected in the Project Span field, then for a particular Test Run you can either modify the project selection or clear the field entirely so that Test Cases can only be selected from the current project.

  1. Select the Test Run in the table at the top of the Test Runs page.

  2. Click Properties in the detail section of the selected Test Run.

  3. After saving all changes to the properties, click the Back button on the toolbar to close the properties.
