Test Instances Statuses

A test instance can have the following statuses :

• Running : this is the initial state of a test instance, once the user press on the "Start" button.
• Paused : A test instance can be paused, and the restarted by the user.
• Aborted : If the test instance was started per mistake, or is a duplicate of an existing test instance. Then one can abort it. Aborted test instances are not checked by monitors. 
• To be verified : Once a test instance is completed, the user can set it status to "to be verified". Monitors work list contains test instances with that status.
• Failed : Based on the evidences and the observation of the logs or the actual run of the test by vendors, a monitor may fail a test. 
• Verified : A monitor once convinced that the test is successful can mark it as verified
• Partially verified : If a monitor thinks that a test is incomplete but that their is a chance that the vendor may fix the problem during the test session, then he/she can mark the test as partially verified. 
• Critical : Sometime toward the end of the connectathon, the project manager activates the "critical" status mode in Gazelle. Monitors verify then the Test instances with the status critical first.
