Rerunning Already Finished Tests
Once a test run is in the Finish or Suspended state, its run is complete. These test runs are represented in the test run's transition diagram as follows:
The tester can partly or completely re-run a test set by clicking the Restart option.
During Restart, the tester can decide which test cases need to be rerun.
The options are:
• Re-run all tests—Reruns all test cases in this test set regardless of their results.
• Re-run selected tests only—User can individually choose the tests that they want to rerun.
• Re-run failed or blocked tests only—Choose this option to rerun only failed or blocked tests.
• Run the remaining open tests—This option appears if some of the tests were not run at all, because the test set run was manually closed. This option keeps all the existing test results and runs only the missing ones.
By default, restarting clears test's results, which means that each test step's result, and conclusion is cleared and attachments are removed. If you want to keep the results, clear the Clear previous results checkbox.
This behavior is configured in the general.xml file like this:
<testManagement ...
rerunClearsResults="true"
/>
rerunClearsResults="true"
/>
