Test Manager user guide
When you execute tests and use testing artifacts, you should be aware of their default data retention policies.
Test Data Retention – breaking changes
Currently, we enforce the following data retention periods.
| Objects | Data retention period |
|---|---|
| Robot logs | 30 days |
| Other testing artifacts (test results, assertions, assertion screenshots, activity coverage, attachments) | Indefinite |
Starting with August 1, 2026, the data retention period will no longer be indefinite for the following test execution artifacts: test results (test case logs, test step logs, assertions) and execution attachments.
| Platform tier | Test Execution Artifacts Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Free | 12 months |
| Basic Trial | 12 months |
| Basic | 12 months |
| Standard Trial | 24 months |
| Standard | 24 months |
| Enterprise | 48 months |
| Application Testing Standard Trial | 48 months |
| Application Testing Standard | 24 months |
| Application Testing Enterprise | 48 months |
The current Test Data Retention policy does not impact the following test business objects, which are stored indefinitely: Test Cases, Requirements, Test Sets.
- Test Data Retention – cut-off date
- The new Test Data Retention policy will be enforced on August 1, 2026.
- What can I do before the Test Data Retention cut-off date?
- If you have test results and associated artifacts which exceed the new Test Data Retention period on the cut-off date, ensure you use the Export Project capability to download and store these assets to a location of your choice.
Moving forward, will I get a warning that I am approaching the end of my test data retention for an artifact?
Yes, a warning will be shown <30 days before your testing artifacts are no longer available, instructing you to download them.
We strongly encourage you to download the testing artifacts you need before the cut-oof date. However, a one-time, limited and discretionary extension can be granted, if you submit a support ticket.
