Managing results file information
Including results of
manual tests
You can mark manual tests as having passed or failed in the Update Manual
Tests dialog (see "Documenting manual tests in the testplan" on page 67).
The Pass/Fail report includes in its statistics the manual tests that you have
documented as having passed or failed.
By default, whenever you generate a report, it will include information on the
tests run for that results file, plus the current results of any manual tests
specified in the testplan. If the manual test results are subsequently updated,
the next time you generate the report, it will incorporate the latest manual
results, which might not be what you want. Instead, you might want the
report to use a snapshot of manual results, not the most recent manual results.
You do this by merging the results of manual tests into the results file.
Procedure To merge results of manual tests:
1
Make the results file for the testplan active.
2
Select Results/Merge.
3
The Merge Results dialog displays, listing all other runs of your testplan,
plus the results of your manual tests.
