Managing Test Runs

A Test Run comprises of a set of associated Test Cases which are executed during it's lifecycle and their status updated.

A Test Run can be considered as an entity, with the following phases in it's lifecycle

1. Creation / Configuration : A Test Run can be created
   
   • either by copying an existing Test Run
   • OR by explicitly assigning Releases, Baselines and Test Cases to it.
2. Committed
   • This action is taken when a user wants to save the snapshot of the current state of the Test Run.
   • If the user wants to run another iteration, then the user needs to create another instance of Test Run.
   • Once a Test Run has been Committed, it's attributes cannot be modified.
3. Editable
   
   • A Test Run can be updated anytime before it's committed.
   • The Test Case status is overwritten in this state.
   • Test Cases can also be added OR deleted in this state.
