A Test Run represents the execution of an entire test case, while a Test Log records the result of each individual test step within that execution.
A Test Run stores information such as:
Test case being executed
Tester
Environment
Build or release
Execution date
Overall test result (Pass, Fail, Blocked, etc.)
Think of the Test Run as the container for a single execution of a test case.
It answers questions such as:
Which test case is being executed?
Who is executing it?
Which release, build, environment, or iteration is it for?
What is the current overall status (Passed, Failed, Blocked, etc.)?
Example:
Login Test Case → Test Run for Release 3.2 → Assigned to Sarah → Chrome on Windows.
Each Test Run serves as a record of the Test Results of running a Test Case from a requirement (Jira Work Item, Test Folder or Test Plan) at a specific moment in time within the context of a Test Execution.
The following example can be applied to a Test Folder and a Test Plan.
From Jira Work Item Screen
Open a Jira Work Item (Requirement)
Go to Vansah Test Management
Hover over a Test Case and view any Test Runs against the current requirement or any other requirements.
Alternatively you can click on the Test Runs tab to view all Test Runs grouped by the Test Case
