Test execution is the process of executing the code and comparing the expected and actual results.

Test Status

By default, a test case remains in No Run status. Once a status is assigned to a test case, it cannot revert to the no Run status.

A test case can be assigned a result as Passed, Failed or Blocked. TestLink supports to assign a result to individual test steps as well. You can assign Passed, Failed or Blocked status at each individual step of a test case.

  • Passed − When a test case or step matches the expected result, it is marked as Passed.

  • Failed − When a test case or step deviates from the expected result, it is marked as Failed.

  • Blocked − When a test case or step cannot be executed due to an outstanding issue, it is marked as Blocked.
