# Test overview

## What is this?

The test overview shows every test sequence in the organization in one
place — running, completed, and planned — with customer, project, test
object, and due date per row. Unlike "Tasks" (your own open test items), it
shows the sequence as a whole rather than the individual test step.

## How to use it

- **Sections:** Three tabs — "Running" (status In progress), "Planned" (not
  yet started, with a start date in the future), and "Completed" (Passed,
  Failed, Skipped, or Cancelled). For most sequences the status is derived
  automatically from the state of their test cases (a single failure counts
  as "Completed" right away, even if other test cases are still open) —
  only sequences with a manually set status follow the raw status column.
- **Filter:** By customer and project, in addition to the text search over
  sequence and project names.
- **Due date:** Shows the scheduled end, falling back to the scheduled start
  if no end is set.
- **Jump to the sequence:** Clicking a row opens the sequence in its project.

## Common issues

- **"A sequence doesn't appear in any section."** Planned sequences without
  a start date don't appear in any of the three sections — they simply have
  no start date yet. It's still visible in the project itself.
- **"The customer is missing from the column."** The sequence's project has
  no customer assigned — see customer management to add one.
- **"A sequence shows 'Pending' even though its test cases are already
  running or done."** That would be a bug — with automatic status, the
  derived state of the test cases always drives both the tab and the status
  badge, never the sequence's own, often stale status column by itself.
