Executing manual tests

Execute Test Sets Manually

Both Test Manager test sets and test sets that have been linked from Orchestrator can be executed manually. if manual steps have been defined for the test cases.

  1. Open your project in Test Manager and then navigate to Test Sets.
  2. Select More Options for the test set that you want to execute.
  3. Select Execute Manually.
    The Manual execution assistant opens in a new window. If you are using a pop-up blocker, configure it to allow the window to open.

For more information on test results, see Analyzing Test Results.

Note: Automated test cases can have manual steps defined and can also be executed manually.

Alternatively, you can open your test set, select Execute and then select Manually from the dropdown list.

Manual execution assistant

The manual execution assistant allows you to perform a set of manual tests one after another. You need to set a result on each manual step to advance to the next test case in the test set. Through the Manual Execution Assistant, you need to treat and mark steps in each case either as passed or failed.

Figure 1. Executing manual tests using the Manual Execution Assistant

  1. To mark the progress of each step in the test case, select Set Failed or Set Passed.
  2. Include comments, especially when marking a step as failed, to supply specific information about the outcome.
  3. After marking a step, you can set several following steps as passed. Do this by selecting Set Passed Until Here.
  4. Once you conclude a test case by assigning a result to the last step, select Next.

    This action allows you to advance to the next test case within your test set.

  5. Repeat steps one to four until you reach the final test case in the test set.
  6. If a postcondition is specified for a manual test, verify it after assigning a result to the last step of a test case.
    1. If the postcondition is satisfied, select Condition Met.
    2. If the postcondition is not met, leave Condition Met unselected.
  7. After finishing the last test case, select Done to complete the entire execution process.

Taking screenshots when manually executing tests

Capture the behavior of an application with screenshots during manual test execution, following these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Test Sets section of your project and open a manual test set.
  2. Select Execute > Manually.

    The manual execution assistant opens, displaying the first manual test case ready for execution.

  3. Start executing your tests manually.
  4. When you reach a test step where you want to take a screenshot of the application, go to More options > Capture screen.

    The Choose what to share with https://{yourDomain}/portal_

    window appears, offering the following capture options, which apply to most browsers:
    • Entire Screen: This option takes a screenshot of a desired active screen.
    • Window: This option takes a screenshot of a desired application window.
    • <Broswer> Tab: This option takes a screenshot of a certain browser tab, such as Chrome, for example. The name varies based on the browser in use.
      Note: While capturing a screenshot of a window or browser tab, that tab or window gains focus. To resume the manual test execution, you have to manually return to the manual execution assistant. This step is due to a security limitation of the browser.

  5. After you select the element that you want to capture, select Share.

    Your captured screenshot now appears as a preview within the test step.
