POST/projects/{ProjectId}/testruns

Applies to QAComplete 14.3, last modified on February 19, 2024

Creates a new test run in QAComplete.

Use the operation to add a new manual test run to the Run History in your QAComplete project, or to start an automated test run on a specific test host.

When you create a new automated test run using this operation, the operation creates a record about the run in the Run History and leaves the test in the Awaiting Run status. Information about the test will be provided to the test host, so that it can start the run in accordance with the provided data. The automated test run begins automatically – no additional actions are required from your side.
