Display test executions column

The Execution Status column display can be manipulated for each coverage column added. When enabled, this column shows the last execution result(s) for each test in the previous column configured.

The Execution Status column header provides the total number of tests that have either Passed or Failed an execution – or have not been executed at all. Each column cell provides the last executions status and date(s) for the tests in the previous column.  Test executions across all projects will show in this column.

• Fill the selection criteria accordingly.  The selection should ideally contain only test definitions. 
• Tick the checkbox to Display Test Executions Column and input the desired number of executions to be displayed. By default, executions done on the test case from <all> projects will be displayed. To filter the executions further to only desired projects, select project(s) from the project dropdown.

The first column of the coverage will show all issues that match the selected criteria. The second column will show the last execution result(s) for the selected issues.

The first column of the coverage will show all source issues that match the selected criteria. The second column will show all test definitions that are linked to the source selection matching the selected link types. If a source issue is not linked to a corresponding test, it will be visible in the coverage view. The third column will show the last execution result(s) for the test definitions of the second column.
