Grouping of tests while Triaging failed tests within a Test Cycle

Triage Efficiency: Support for Viewing Groups of Failed Tests while Triaging failed tests within a Test Cycle

When you execute test cycles, many a time there are specific patterns for the failed tests, if any. The pattern usually involves the same error description, position of the failure (say at the same test instruction within the same test script), etc. To complete the triaging of the failed tests efficiently, this feature lets us easily see the patterns or groups of failures within your test cycle's failed test runs.

To make use of this powerful feature, just open the last accordion "Group and Sort Results By" and within the field "Group by", choose one of the following three options using which you can specify how you want the grouping to be done:

  • Same description and position for the first point of failure
  • Same description, script and instruction for the first point of failure
  • Same description but different position for the first point of failure
Once you are done with specifying this and any other search criteria, perform your search.


The search results will visually indicate the group number for each of the test runs.



If you want you can also filter the tests to see only test runs from a subset of those groups. You can select one or more groups using the filter.
