Test execution and result logging

Run cases and log pass/fail/blocked with evidence.

Execute and log

Executing a test means following its steps and comparing the actual result with the expected one. Each execution is logged with a status, which communicates in a standard way how the test went.

Common execution statuses
StatusMeaning
PassActual result matches the expected one
FailActual result differs from the expected one
BlockedCould not be run (e.g. environment down)
SkippedNot applicable in this run

Capture evidence (screenshots, logs) while executing, especially when a test fails: it will save time when reporting and reproducing the defect.
