Assigning manual executions

Assign one or multiple manual test case executions to a user and set a due date for completion.

Assign manual test case executions to a tester from the Execution section, regardless of how the execution was started.

Prerequisites

To assign or unassign manual test case logs, you must have the Change test case executions assignments task permission in one of your roles. By default, this task permission is integrated in the Test Manager pre-defined role.

The user to whom you assign the test case must have permissions to execute tests.

Steps

1. Go to the Execution section of your project.

2. Select the name of a test execution and open it.

   Note:

   Any test execution can be selected, regardless of its type. This is because the objective is to facilitate manual execution by the user, irrespective of the method used in its prior execution.

3. Assign the manual test case executions in one of the following ways:

   • To assign a single manual test case execution: select More Options for the desired test case, and then select Assignment.
   • To assign multiple manual test case executions: select the check boxes next to the desired manual test case keys, and then select Assign. The Assignment dialog box opens.

4. In the Assignee field, enter the username or email address of the user to which you want to assign the test cases.

5. In the Set the due date field, enter the date by which you want the user to run the test case. The format of the date is: Month/Day/Year. You can also use the date picker for this step.

6. Select Assign to complete your action.

   Tip:

   You can also change the assignment and due date from the header of the test case execution log.
