Understanding the execution details of a test case across different RUNs is often critical for the teams. With the RUN Wise Viewer, you can view complete details of any test case as it appeared in earlier RUNs of the same test plan. This allows you to trace changes, compare outcomes, and maintain full visibility of your testing history.
Why is this feature useful?
Think of test case RUNs like the pages in a diary 📖. Each RUN captures what happened at that point in time: who was assigned, what status it reached, what comments were left, and how long it took. By revisiting these entries, you gain clarity on progress, bottlenecks, and changes made over time.
Accessing Previous Runs
When you open a test case from within a test plan, you will notice a Run Selector placed at the top of the page, right next to the test case ID.
Arrows: Use the left (
←) and right (→) arrows to move between consecutive RUNs, orDropdown: Click on the RUN number to open a dropdown list and directly jump to the RUN you want to view.
What changes when you switch RUNs?
Every time you select a RUN, the system instantly updates the test case view to reflect the exact state of that test case during that RUN. This includes:
Test Case Version - The version of the test case at that time. If changed then you may see different values for the test case fields like title, suite, steps etc.
Status - Whether it was Passed, Failed, Skipped, etc.
Assignee - Who was responsible for execution.
Time Taken - How long the test case took to execute.
Additionally, within each RUN, you may notice the differences in:
Step Statuses - Individual step status might vary.
Tester Comments - added by the tester.
Attachments - Files or screenshots uploaded during that RUN.
