Unlink an incident has been linked by mistake during a test run

Hi 

I have got an incident which has been linked to a test run during execution of a test case by mistake. This incident is aslo linked to some other tests cases. How can I do to unlink the incident to the test case attached by mistake taking into account that I can't erase the incident since it is alo linked to some other tests cases ?

Why do I need that ?  In my reporting, I can see that my last execution of the test case is passed but that it is linked to an incident which is not closed 

Thanks for your help

Regards

Hugues

It is not currently possible, for audit reasons.

Hi hfama78,

                Here is how to remove a linked incident if it has been mistakenly added during a test Run.

I do this as having these incorrectly linked incidents provides false information about the testing results.

I am on SpiraTeam v7.0.0 but this works in previous versions of SpiraTeam.

Do this:

  1. Open the incident > Association tab > find the name of the test case that incorrectly linked it
  2. Select the Test case name – this opens the test run that incorrectly linked the incident
  3. Delete this Test run record – all results will be lost – check before deleting – save any valuable information
  4. Reopen your incident > Association tab > The Test case no longer appears
  5. Rerun the Test case

This works for both of these scenarios:

While executing a test case you link to an existing test case

OR

While executing a test case you create a new incident - (Note: the incident remains and is NOT deleted after the test run is deleted)

 

I hope this helps

Cheers

Heath
