Executing Test Sets
While executing test sets, assign your name as owner.
Test Sets that have been created and either do not have any TCs associated to them and they are accepted. If they were not run then please delete them from the Sprint by either using the delete or changing the iteration if you do not want to lose them.
In addition, I am also seeing a number of TSs that contain TCs that were not executed. If you are not going to execute the TC then please delete it from the TS. If you cannot execute the test case due to a known defect or a blocker then result appropriately.
When a TS is marked accepted it means that everything contained has been executed (or noted) regardless of pass/fail.
When the TC fails do not mark both instances as failed. You wait for the fix and test it again. You keep adding the TC to the iteration until it passes and then once more to be tested in a subsequent build.
