The Execution Plan Module in SimplifyQA helps users plan test executions for a particular release by allowing them to select test cases, assign users, and set execution dates. This module provides flexibility in organizing, managing, and tracking test case executions based on various criteria such as environment, priority, and execution type.

Navigating to the Execution Plan

To access the Execution Plan:

1. Go to the User Navigation Panel.

2. Navigate to Test Execution>Execution Plan.

Here, users can create, modify, and manage execution plans for test cases and suites.

This section provides:

• Execution Progress Percentage: Displays the number of executed test cases.

• Defects Raised: Shows defects logged during execution.

• Number of Executors: Lists users assigned to the execution plan.

• Planned Duration: Indicates the total assigned duration and remaining days.

• Graphical Representation:

  • Displays the number of completed executions categorized into Passed, Failed, Blocked, and Not Executed.

• Matrix View:

  • Shows assigned test cases for each user along with scheduled execution dates.

  • Users can switch to Table View and export data as an Excel file.

Executing Test Cases from the Execution Plan

Users can execute assigned test cases from the Execute tab:

1. Navigate to the Execute tab to view assigned test cases.

1. Select the checkboxes for the test cases to be executed.

2. Choose the Browser (for web test cases) or the Device (for mobile test cases).

3. Click Execute to run the selected test cases.

Viewing Execution Reports

Users to easily view and analyze the results of their execution plans through the Reports section. The reports provide comprehensive insights into execution details, along with visual dashboards to help track progress and outcomes effectively.

      • Assigned user information.

      • Logs and error details (if any).

   2. Along with detailed data, the report also includes mini dashboards for quick visualization. These dashboards provide graphical insights such as:

      • Pass/Fail trends

      • Execution summary charts

      • Percentage breakdowns of test results

3. Users can download the execution report in the available formats for offline review, sharing, or audit purposes.

The Execution Plan Module in SimplifyQA streamlines test planning by allowing users to assign test cases, track execution progress, and execute test cases efficiently. By leveraging this module, teams can ensure comprehensive test coverage and organized test execution tracking.
