# Step 6: Executing test cases

> Execute automated test cases from SAP Cloud ALM or Test Manager and keep execution status synchronized between both platforms.

You can execute automated test cases directly from both SAP Cloud ALM and Test Manager.

## Steps

1. Execute the automated test cases as described in [Executing Automated Test Cases](https://help.sap.com/docs/cloud-alm/applicationhelp/executing-automated-test-cases).

## Result

The execution results are displayed in both SAP Cloud ALM and Test Manager.

## What to do next

* You can check the execution status and data, in real time, from both SAP Cloud ALM and Test Manager. After you execute a test case, you can see the status of the execution both in SAP Cloud ALM and Test Manager. While you are still in the **Executed Test Runs** section of a test case in SAP Cloud ALM, select **Open Execution Log** to navigate directly to the execution log of that test case within Test Manager.
* To track an ongoing execution in SAP Cloud ALM, in the test case list, refresh the status and the progress of the test run by selecting ![Refresh test progress from the Automation Provider](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/test-manager/test-manager-refresh-test-progress-from-the-automation-provider-494343-9ea58965-ae981f3c.webp) **Refresh Test Progress from the Automation Provider**.
* To synchronize a finished execution, navigate to your SAP Cloud ALM project and select the **Test Execution** app. Within the **Test Cases** section, select the desired test case, and then select ![Refresh executed test runs from the Automation Provider](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/test-manager/test-manager-refresh-test-progress-from-the-automation-provider-494343-9ea58965-ae981f3c.webp) **Refresh Executed Test Runs from the Automation Provider**. This action updates the execution status in SAP Cloud ALM to match the one from Test Manager.
