A Test Case can be Blocked Globally or only against a specific requirement it is linked to, such as a Jira Issue and Test Folder.
When a Test Case is Blocked against a requirement, it prevents users from testing the Test Case against the linked requirement and Test Reports will reflect the number of Blocked Cases against it.
It is possible to globally Block a Test Case, which means that it cannot be tested regardless of the Issue, Test Folder, or Test Plan it is associated with. This global Block will also affect all Jira projects that have this Test Case.
Outcome of Blocked Test Cases on Test Execution
Planned Test
If a Test Case is blocked then the overall result for a Planned Test will no-longer consider the Blocked Test Case result, but it will consider the Test Case as part of the number of planned tests.
Miscellaneous Test Run
If a Test Case is Blocked, you will no longer be able to update the test result without unblocking the testcase.
