Link to Using the Test Runs with Flags Section copied to clipboard

Refer to the Test Runs with Flags section of the Dashboard screen in axe Auditor whenever you want to view a quick list of your test runs that contain flags. When there are test runs with flags that have been assigned to you, after logging in to axe Auditor, the Dashboard screen displays the Test Runs with Flags section (which may display multiple "pages" of test runs in which flag reasons have been added against checkpoints). The paginated, filterable and sortable table lists six key columns of information about each to give you a summarized overview, and it also provides a button that allows you to drill down into viewing more details about those flags.

Section Table Overview

The Test Runs with Flags table provides a FILTERS section that allows you to refine the row records displayed in the tabular format below by one or more Test Case or Assigned User, as desired. Applied criteria (selected checkboxes in the filter drop-down menus) appear in the ACTIVE FILTERS section to show what is currently narrowing the results. For complete details about using the filter functionality, see the Filters and Tables topic within Common Functionality in the Overview portion of this guide.

The Test Runs with Flags table provides the following 7 columns of information to give you a quick overview of test runs assigned to you that contain flags:

Follow this procedure when you want to view which checkpoint tests are associated with each flag, the reason for each flag, and/or the associated issues that have also been added for the checkpoint for which a flag was added. This also allows you to navigate to that associated checkpoint test screen, on which you can Edit or Resolve the flag. The only action available from the Actions column o fthe Test Runs with Flags section on the Dashboard screen is viewing flags, which is done by clicking the button that is labeled accordingly.

  1. In the Actions column of the Test Runs with Flags section, click the View flags button within the desired Test Case row.
  2. On the Issues tab panel, click the View Issue button in the Actions column if you want to view issue details added to the checkpoint for which an item was also flagged for review.
  3. On the Checkpoints tab panel, view the Reason and other information as desired for each flag.
  4. Click the Checkpoint column link to navigate to the Checkpoint Test screen, on which you can either edit or remove the flag.
