Create & Manage Project Milestones - Track Testing Deadlines

Milestones are optional. You can continue using Test Runs without milestones if your workflow does not require deadline tracking.

1. Create a Project Milestone

To create a milestone, you have to be a Project Administrator. Please follow the instructions:

• Open your project.
• Go to the Milestones page.
• Click the ‘+ Milestone’button.
• Fill out the milestone details:
• Title:Enter a clear milestone name.
• Description:Add optional context, links, or release notes.
• Start Date:Set the beginning of the testing window, if needed.
• Due Date:Set the deadline for the milestone, if needed.
• Test Runs:Select the Test Runs that should belong to the milestone. You'll be able to add Test Runs later.
• Save the milestone.

Note: Project Milestones are created at the project level and do not apply across multiple projects.

2. Assign Test Runs to a Milestone

You can assign Test Runs to a milestone from:

• The Milestone details page.
• Test Run settings or Test Run details.

A milestone can include multiple Test Runs. Each Test Run can be assigned to one milestone at a time.

3. Understand Due Date Logic

If a milestone has a Due Date, assigned Test Runs inherit that due date.

When a Test Run inherits a due date from a milestone:

• The due date is shown on the Test Run.
• The due date is read-only on the Test Run.
• The milestone is shown as the source of the due date.

If a Test Run is not assigned to a milestone, you can set a manual due date directly on the Test Run.

Note: If no milestone is assigned and no manual due date is set, the Test Run has no due date by default.

4. Track Missed Deadlines

A Test Run is considered missed when:

• The due date has passed.
• The Test Run is not Completed.

Missed deadlines are highlighted in the Test Runs list and on the Test Run details page.

If the due date comes from a milestone, the Test Run will show the milestone as the source.

5. View Milestone Progress

The Milestones list helps you monitor testing progress across time-bound goals.

The list includes:

• Title
• Start Date
• Due Date
• Test Run status summary
• Completion progress
• Test Runs count

Use filters to focus on milestones by status, date range, or missed Test Runs.

6. Open Milestone Details

The Milestone details page gives a full overview of milestone progress.

You can view:

• Milestone title and status.
• Start and due dates.
• Total Test Runs list.

From the Test Runs section, you can open a Test Run, edit it, or remove it from the milestone.

7. Manage Milestones

Project Administrators can:

• Edit milestone details.
• Archive milestones.
• Restore archived milestones.
• Delete milestones.
• Assign or remove Test Runs.

Other project roles have read-only access to milestones.
