Re-running Tests: How Does This Work?
When a test run is restarted, the test runner makes a copy of the whole test run hierarchy including the individual test cases’ results. The original test results are kept unchanged in order to retain the history.
The test runner also initially loads and shows the previous run's result and fills the step’s Actual result and Status with the same value as for the previous run.
By default,Codebeamer makes a copy of the tests. If you want to delete the results of the previous test and rerun them, set the forceCopyOnReRun property to false in the general.xml as follows:
<testManagement forceCopyOnReRun="false" ></testManagement>
