1. Create a Test Run

2. Sort Test Runs
Sort Test Runs by Name for better organization.
3. Filter Test Runs
Apply filters to focus on specific Test Runs based on:
- Status: Filter by Not Started, In Progress, or Completed Test Runs.
- Assigned to You: View Test Runs where you are the assigned tester.
- Cases Within Runs Assigned to You: Focus on specific test cases assigned to you within a Test Run.
4. View Test Run Due Dates
The Test Runs list can show additional context for each Test Run.
Use the list to view:
- Due Date: Shows the Test Run deadline, if one is set.
If a Test Run misses its due date, the due date is highlighted.
Note: A Test Run is missed when its due date has passed and the Test Run is not Completed.
If the due date is inherited from a milestone, the Test Run will show the milestone as the source.
5. Manage Test Runs
- Duplicate: Create a copy of an existing Test Run for reuse.
- Archive and Restore:
- Archive Test Runs to temporarily remove them from active use.
- Restore archived Test Runs when needed.
- Delete: Permanently delete Test Runs that are no longer required.
Note: Deleted Test Runs cannot be restored.
