Reclassify Test Results

Every time you run a test, the test cases are classified accordingly as FAILED, PASSED, INCONCLUSIVE, or EXECUTION ERROR.

You can comment the given test result and you can also change the test result manually in TPT from PASSED to FAILED, from FAILED to PASSED, from FAILED to INCONCLUSIVE, and from PASSED to INCONCLUSIVE and vice versa.

An EXECUTION ERROR cannot be reclassified, nor can any other result be reclassified to be an execution error.

The reclassification of a test result is only used for the report. When you rerun the test case without having eliminated the reason for the failure of the test case, the test case is again reported as FAILED and all made changes to the test results are obsolete.

To reclassify a test,

  1. Execute a test by clicking Run or open the last test execution result by clicking Reload in the Execution Configuration.
  2. Right-click on an executed test in the Build Progress and click Reclassify Test Results. Alternatively, click the Reclassify toolbar button. You can also select several test cases at once and reclassify them in one step.
