Test cases marked as pass/fail get automatically activated which changes the whole statistics of Test case executionin Azure Test plan

Question

Important info:
we are creating test plan in Azure devops for performing regression before release of product. It's a combination of query based and regular static suites. We add the test cases in test plan and keep them unassigned with Active status. When team executes the test cases, they mark those Test cases either pass or fail. We have some projection plan to finish this testing. We track it based on charts and marked test cases.

Since last year, we have observed that some times status of marked (as Pass/fail) test cases changes to Active automatically without any history behind which can provide clue that who might have done it. Test result does not show up anything. Due to this issue, statistics for tracking test plan changes and results into showcasing incorrect percentage of Test case execution. It becomes very tedious to mark them again as team gets confused which test case was actually executed due to similarity in names. This is causing inconvenience and it eats up our valuable time of executing the test cases into just getting test plan back to track again like day before. PFA the screenshot. Expecting solution in response at the earliest.

Hi @Deepti Aphale ,

Azure DevOps is currently not supported in the Microsoft Q&A, the supported products are listed over here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products (more to be added later on).

You can ask in the dedicated Azure DevOps forum over here:

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely,
Anna
