Update a Test Run to the Latest Script Revision

Review a new Test Script revision, load it into an existing Test Run, and check how changed steps affect saved results.

A Test Run uses the script revision captured for that run. When the Test Script changes, Vansah can show New revision found so you can review the changes and decide whether to load them into the run.

Before you update

  • Confirm that you are opening the correct Test Case version and Test Run. A script revision is different from selecting another named Test Case version.

  • Review the changes before replacing the run’s script. Added, removed, or reordered steps can change what you need to test.

  • Loading a revision is an explicit action; simply opening the Test Case does not automatically replace the run’s script.

Load the latest revision

  1. Open the Test Run and select New revision found.

  2. Review the author and time shown for the latest revision. Use the history control, when available, to review changes since the run was created.

  3. Select Get latest revision.

  4. Read the confirmation and select Confirm.

  5. Check the refreshed script, step order, existing results, and overall result before continuing.

What happens to existing results?

Change

What to review

A step still exists

Existing step logs are retained while the run’s step revision and order are updated. Recheck whether the recorded result still applies to the changed instructions.

A step is added

The added step starts without a completed result and needs testing.

A step is removed

Its logs can be removed from the updated run. Review evidence before confirming.

Overall result changes

Vansah recalculates the run’s overall result after updating the script.

Do not use a revision update as a substitute for retesting. A previously Passed result does not confirm that newly edited instructions have been tested.

If Get latest revision is unavailable

The revision control is disabled when the script format differs from the run’s format, such as changing from Multi Steps to Plain Text. Review the Test Case and create an appropriate new Test Run instead of forcing the existing run to use a different format.

If the update fails, reopen the run and check its script and results before retrying. See Edit Test Cases during Test Runs for editing guidance. Contact Vansah with the Test Case key, Test Run key, and error message if the run does not match the intended revision.
