Create an Execution Plan
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:
Go to the User Navigation Panel.
Navigate to Test Execution>Execution Plan.

Here, users can create, modify, and manage execution plans for test cases and suites.
Creating a New Execution Plan
To create a new execution plan:
Click on the “+ Execution Plan” button.

Fill out the mandatory fields, including:
Plan Name: Provide a unique name for the execution plan.
Release & Sprint: Specify the relevant release and sprint.
Planned Start & End Date: Define the timeline for execution.
Data Environment: Select the appropriate environment for execution.

Assign test cases to testers:
Click on "Add to Plan" to select test cases.

Choose test cases from different categories such as Modules, Release, Scenarios, Suites, or view All Test Cases.

Select the checkboxes for the desired test cases.
Click on the Select User field to assign test cases to a user with access to the project (optional).
Set the Execution Date and click Assign (optional).

Repeat this process for multiple users if needed.
Click Add to finalise the execution plan.

To remove test cases, select the desired test cases and click on the 'Delete' icon.

Tracking the Execution Plan
Once the execution plan is created, users can track its progress by clicking on the Track tab.

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

Select the checkboxes for the test cases to be executed.
Choose the Browser (for web test cases) or the Device (for mobile test cases).
Click Execute to run the selected test cases.

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.
