Re-Run a test in accelQ

Re-Run test cases

accelQ provides a facility to rerun test cases as needed, for a given test execution effort. Consider you are running a test suite with hundreds of test cases, for a specific intent such as "Release 3.0 Regression". It is possible that some of these test cases may fail either due to application configuration issues, or other environment issues. Some times, application slowness could have caused failures due to timeouts.

accelQ provides an ability to select a subset of test cases from existing test result and repeat the execution. accelQ automatically consolidates the result from all such instances of executions and presents a unified view of test report.

To rerun a test suite or a scenario, open the existing test result from the results list. On the top right corner, click on “Re-Run” button.

System presents a list of test cases that were part of the original run indicating the pass/fail status as well as identifying if a test case was not run. All the failed test cases are pre-selected by default. Review the selection list and kick off the test again.

Consolidated test report

Consolidated report refers to an automatically generated view of test results from multiple reruns. From multiple re-run reports, for each test case, system picks the latest run and pulls into the consolidated report. This makes sharing and analyzing the test report very seamless and gives unified view to the test execution status.

When you open the report of test run from the result grid, consolidated view is opened by default. From here, it is possible to navigate to one of the individual rerun reports by clicking the link on top right corner.

Note: It is important that all the reruns are aimed at a particular execution effort which requires unified view from analysis perspective. Do not combine multiple unrelated test execution requests with this feature.
