AUDIENCE:-

• One who executes the CBTA test scripts
• One who is tracking CBTA script execution
• Anyone who wants to know this functionality

USE-CASE FOR COLLECTIVE EXECUTION:-

     Test manager has created Test plans and test packages. One round of execution is completed with few test scripts Passed and few Failed.

     After resolving the script/data issues for the failed test scripts, tester wants execute all failed scripts.

     Intention is, end of the day tester should select all failed test cases and give for execution and go home.

Options

1. Execute the complete test package –>This will execute even the already passed test cases. So not a desired option 🙁   
2. Execute each script one by one through test package –>Time consuming option 🙁
3. Create new test package of failed test cases and then schedule execution –> It’s not allowed as Test Plan is released and Test Manager does

                       not want to modify it 😡

                  4.  Execute selected failed test scripts Collectively 🙂 Described Below 🙂
