Testing features seem to be broken in V13
« on: April 07, 2017, 06:57:06 pm »
When you enter a new test you can neither select Run By nor Checked By nor Last Run.
When you try to change Status and Save the error message “Test not run yet. Set the Result to the default i.e. ‘Not Run’ is shown !?!?!?

Found in build 1310.
Best regards,

You need to select the check box against Last Run.

You need to select the check box against Last Run and set Run By before you set the Status.

Hi VKN,
I see, in V13 some constraints seem to be introduced. I am still not sure if this new constraints providing a value or not. Anyhow, the text in the message boxes (when doing something wrong) are somehow misleading.

Looks like it is trying to avoid a test case getting into an incorrect state. For instance, coming across a test that is set to Pass/Fail but don't know who ran it or when.

Yes it seems so.
But once you have set Last Run, Run By and Status to fail (let’s say 3 years ago) someone can change status to Pass e.g. by mistake to get something incorrect as well.
EA is quiet lax in constraining the users, but here in this special case it is not any more since V13.
