Test Statues, Sorting and Filtering

SmartPlanner provides the ability to monitor the status of test executions directly from the table. As test executions progress and their statuses change, these updates are reflected in SmartPlanner.

Test Execution Status Colors and Their Meanings

Sorting and Filtering in SmartPlanner

Sorting

• Functionality: Sorting applies to all scripts based on the selected filter and displays with pagination.
• Behavior: When not on the first page and changing the sort order, the new sort order will be applied, and scripts will be displayed from the first page.

Filtering on Blank Values

• Blank Filter: A “Blank” checkbox is added to the filters by default.
• Exceptions: This option is available for all fields except the following Enterprise Tester built-in fields as they will never be blank:
  • Priority
  • Test Type
  • Status

Example: Applying Filters and Sorting

Steps to Sort and Filter

1. Open the Table:

   • Navigate to the relevant table in SmartPlanner.

2. Apply Sorting:

   • Click on the column header to sort by that field.
   • If not on the first page, sorting will reset the view to the first page with the new order.

3. Filter on Blank Values:

   • Click on the filter icon in the column header.
   • Check the “Blank” checkbox to filter for blank values (where applicable).

Viewing and Managing Test Executions

Monitoring Status

• Status Indicators: The color of the test execution status provides an immediate visual cue for the status of the test runs.

Using Filters for Efficient Management

• Phase Filtering: Use phase filters to narrow down test cases by specific phases (e.g., Phase 1, Phase 2).
• Blank Value Filtering: Use the "Blank" filter to identify and manage unassigned or incomplete data fields.
