Creating a combined launch
In Allure TestOps, a test launch doesn’t need to include only manual tests or only automated tests — it can include both. A launch with these two types of tests is called a combined launch.
Allure TestOps aims to provide a great user experience for both manual and automated testing, allowing you to seamlessly switch between workflows when necessary.
Running manual and automated tests together
Go to the project page.
In the menu on the left, click Test cases.
In the list of test cases, select the checkboxes next to the manual and automated test cases you want to run, then click Run button in the actions menu.
In the dialog that appears, go to the Job tab and make sure it displays the CI server where you want to run the tests. If necessary, use the Replace job button.
Skip this step if you don’t mind which CI server is used — for example, if you only have one CI integration configured.
On the Assign tab, select one or more manual testers. Allure TestOps will automatically distribute the manual tests among them.
Skip this step if you want to assign manual tests to users later, after the launch is created.
On the Environment tab, specify the environments in which the tests should be executed. This may affect how many runs of each test Allure TestOps will create in the launch. For more details, see Environment.
Skip this step to use an empty environment for the manual tests and the job's default environment for the automated tests.
Click Submit.
The launch will be created, containing both manual and automated tests.
Alternative ways to combine manual and automated testing
If you initially created a launch with only manual or only automated tests, you can still add the other tests later.
To add manual tests, select Add test cases in the launch menu and specify some manual tests. The dialog that appears is similar to the Run dialog.
To add automated tests, either select Add test cases and specify some automated tests or select Upload files and provide test result files.
After passing the tests, click the Stop button in the upper-right corner of the open launch to close it.
Browsing test results in a combined launch
In a combined launch, team members may want to work separately on the manual tests and the automated tests. For example, one tester may perform the manual tests and fill in their results, while another focuses on analyzing failures in the automated tests.
On the Filters panel (accessible via the icon above the tests list), you can use the Type filter to select which tests to view: All, Automated, or Manual.
Re-running automated tests manually
For each test, whether manual or automated, you can initiate a new manual run by clicking the Rerun manually button. The new run will override the previous one in terms of test status and various analytics, while the previous run will remain available in the history.
It is assumed that the manual tester will perform the same actions that the automated test attempted. To assist with this, Allure TestOps provides the manual tester with a scenario based on the steps generated by the automated test.
