Statuses

Statuses control the outcome values available when testers execute runs (e.g., Passed, Failed, Blocked). TestFish ships with system statuses you cannot remove, but you can add organisation-specific ones.

Managing statuses​

  • Create – Provide a name and optional colour. New statuses become available in manual runs, automated runs, and analytics filters.
  • Enable/disable – Disable a status to hide it from pickers without losing historical data.
  • Order – Statuses are displayed alphabetically; prefix names if you need a specific order (e.g., 01 - Passed).

System defaults​

The platform includes system statuses (Passed, Failed, Blocked, Skipped, Untested). These cannot be renamed or deleted to protect historical accuracy.

Usage tips​

  • Keep the set small so testers can choose quickly.
  • Align custom statuses with automation outputs; ensure pipelines send the correct status ID.
  • When you add a new status, update dashboards or reports that filter on outcomes.
