Creating pending executions

A pending test execution is similar to a regular test execution made during a test set run, the only difference being that no tests are run immediately. A pending execution assigns the None result for each test case from the test set, allowing you to start tests later or to execute them in chunks or individually.

When you can use pending executions

  • When you want to execute tests at a later time or not all at once, but still reflect the current state of the test set.
  • When some tests are run manually while others are supposed to run automated.
  • When you want the executed tests to reflect the current state of a test set including the selected test cases.

A test execution is independent of its originating test set, with all assigned test cases becoming static members of the execution. To ensure a specific set of tests from a test set is used in an execution, even when the test set is updated, create a pending execution.

Steps to create a pending execution

  1. Open a project in Test Manager, and navigate to Test Sets.
  2. Select Execute and then Create Pending Execution. This creates a replica of the test set that is ready for execution. The pending execution is opened automatically and takes you to Execution.
