Customizing Test and Step Execution Statuses

Applies to Zephyr Squad Cloud, last modified on September 21, 2023

Zephyr Squad uses a number of statuses to indicate the current state of your test or test step execution. You can edit these statuses or create new ones.

Requirement

You need Jira Administrator permissions to customize execution statuses.

Add execution status

  1. Go to Apps > Manage your apps.

  2. On the application managing page, click Customize Test Status or Customize Step Status. On the View Execution Statuses page that opens, the first line is for adding new statuses:

Edit execution status

You can modify the name, the description, and the color of any execution status. However, Test Automation uses predefined statuses with their default meaning, so, if you change the PASS execution status name to VERIFIED, Test Automation will display the renamed VERIFIED status when a test passes.

You can modify the name, description, and color of any status.

Note: Test Automation uses predefined statuses with their default meaning, so, for example, if you rename the PASS status to VERIFIED, Test Automation will show VERIFIED for passed tests.
