Active Milestones

Active milestones in AgileTest are milestones that are in progress, planned but not yet started, or overdue and still open. They help teams monitor ongoing testing and stay on track with timelines.

In the Active Milestone Screen, you can view the overall information about them, including:

• Milestone Name: The name that represents the testing goal or checkpoint.

• Milestone Status: The status of each milestone (UNSCHEDULED PAST DUE STARTED UPCOMING).

• Planned Start and End dates: The scheduled timeframe for when the milestone is expected to begin and finish.

• Execution Status: A summary of testing progress within the milestone, calculated from the results of all test cases, test run items, and test sessions linked to the milestone, showing how testing is progressing toward completion.

In this tab, you can perform the following actions:

1. Filter Milestones

AgileTest supports you in filtering milestones by:

• Name: Provide the Milestone Name to find the exact milestone.

• Type: Tick the check box to filter milestones by how they are linked

  • None: Standalone milestones not linked to a sprint or release

  • Sprint: Milestones linked to Jira sprints

  • Release: Milestones linked to Jira releases

• Status: Tick the checkbox to filter milestones by their timeline progress:

  • UNSCHEDULED: Milestones without planned dates

  • UPCOMING: Milestones with planned start dates have not begun

  • STARTED: Milestones currently in progress

  • PAST DUE: Milestones that have passed their planned end date

2. Switch Date View

There are 2 timeline view modes for milestones:

• Planned Dates: the start and end dates you set when planning a milestone. These dates represent when testing is expected to begin and finish.

• Actual Dates: the start and end dates recorded by the system when you click Start and Complete on a milestone. These dates reflect when testing actually began and ended.

To switch views between these timelines, use the View dropdown option:

• Planned Date: Show milestones based on planned start and end dates.

• Actual Date: Showsmilestones based on actual execution dates.

3. Sort Milestones

You can sort milestones by the following fields:

• Created at: Sort milestones based on when they were created.

• Actual start date: Sort by the date when the milestone actually started.

• Planned start date: Sort by the planned start date of the milestone.

• Planned end date: Sort by the planned completion date.

For each sorting option, you can choose:

• Ascending: Oldest or earliest dates first.

• Descending: Newest or latest dates first.

4. Copy Milestone IDs

You can copy the Milestone ID and use it in our API documentation to integrate with your internal systems. This allows you to perform supported actions programmatically, such as retrieving milestone data from AgileTest. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the milestone you want to get the ID for. Click on the “” box.

2. Select the “Copy ID” option.

The milestone ID has been copied to your clipboard.

5. Edit Milestones

To edit the basic information of milestones, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the milestone you want to edit. Click on the “” box.

2. Select the “Edit” option.

3. Edit the Milestone information. Click the “Save” button to finish.

6. Delete Milestones

To delete milestones, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the milestone you want to delete. Click on the “” box.

2. Select the “Delete” option.

This deletion will clear all milestone data and cannot be undone.

7. Start & Complete Milestones

To record a milestone’s actual start date and mark the milestone as started, click the “Start” button.

To record its actual end date and mark the milestone as completed, click the “Complete” button. This milestone will be moved to the completed tab.

You cannot change the planned start and end dates for those milestones with the Started and Completed statuses.
