Work with execution results

Each ExecutionList has one ActualLog. The ActualLog contains the overall results of the last test run. When you run your ExecutionList again, Tosca overwrites the ActualLog with the latest results.

You can manually clear ActualLogs of ExecutionLists, TestMandates, and Business ExecutionLists. To do so, right-click the ActualLog and select Clear Log from the context menu, or select Ctrl+ L.

If you use Tricentis File Service, this removes all execution log data from the file system, including screenshots.

An ArchivedLog archives the latest test results from the ActualLog at the time you create it (see chapter "Archive results").

The execution of this TestCase was successful.

The execution of this TestCase failed.

ExecutionEntries fail when the system under test does not behave as expected.

Typically, a failure indicates that Tricentis Tosca found an error in the system under test.

The execution of this TestCase returned an error.

ExecutionEntries return an error when an issue with the environment keeps Tricentis Tosca from completing the test. For instance, if you have misspelled a command or an exception occurs.

Typically, an error indicates a flaw in the TestCase or the environment.

This ExecutionEntry has not been executed. It was created from a TestCase with the TestCaseWorkState COMPLETED.

Each ExecutionEntry has one or more TestCaseLogs. Each TestCaseLog contains the results of this ExecutionEntry for a particular test run. When you run your ExecutionList again, Tosca adds a new TestCaseLog to each ExecutionEntry your run.

A TestCaseLog can have the following results: 

• Passed

• Failed

• Error

• No result

• Skipped, only if you integrate Tosca with Tricentis SeaLights

Each TestCaseLog belongs to a particular test run. Each test run has its own ExecutionSessionID, which you can find in the properties of a TestCaseLog. All TestCaseLogs that belong to a test run have the same ExecutionSessionID.

Right-click on a TestCaseLogEntry to select one of the following options from the context menu:

• Jump to TestStep to jump directly to the TestStep.

• View TestStep in TestCase to jump to the TestCase that contains the TestStep and view the TestStep.
