Test plan review

After running a test plan, the review flow gives you a guided way to work through every failed test, warning, and error. You can triage each result, add notes, edit tests inline, create bug tickets, export PDFs, and pick up exactly where you left off across sessions.

​

Starting a review

Open a test plan run from the run history. At the top of the results page you’ll see the Test Review progress bar, which shows the number of tests remaining to review. This count includes failures, warnings, and errors. Click Start to enter the review flow.

​

The review interface

The review flow is split into two panels:

• Left panel — A list of all tests that failed, surfaced a warning, or encountered an error in this run
• Right panel — Full details for the selected test: failure reason, steps, screenshots, video, and console and network logs

Work through tests one at a time. As you assign a status to each test, it moves to the Reviewed tab. The left panel updates automatically so you always know what’s left.

​

Grouping the test list

Use the Group by dropdown at the top of the left panel to change how tests are organized:

• Failure Reason (default) — tests grouped by the root cause Spur detected
• Folder + Suite — tests grouped by folder, with a second level for each suite inside it
• Environment — tests grouped by the environment they ran against
• Scenario — tests grouped by scenario when the plan uses a scenario table

Your selection is saved in the URL, so sharing a link preserves the grouping for whoever opens it. Use the Expand all and Collapse all control next to the dropdown to open or close every group at once — useful for scanning a large review list.

​

Classifying tests

To assign a status, press C or click Classify in the action bar at the bottom of the screen. This opens the classify modal with four options: Bug — Mark this when you have found a bug in your application. Closed — Use this when the failure was expected or explained — for example, a deployment was in progress or the test environment was temporarily unavailable. Needs Rework — Use this when the test steps themselves need to be updated. You can edit the test inline from within the review flow (see Editing and rerunning tests below). Needs Investigation — Use this when you need more context before deciding — for example, you want to discuss the failure with a teammate before committing to a status. You can quick-classify by pressing 1 through 4 while the classify modal is open.

​

Adding notes

You can attach a note to any test to record context, observations, or next steps.

• Standalone note — Press N or click Note in the action bar. Type your note and submit. Notes appear in the test timeline.
• Note with classification — While the classify modal is open, hold Shift and press a number key (Shift+1 through Shift+4) to assign a status and add a note at the same time.

Notes can also be added to multiple tests at once when using bulk selection.

​

Undo

Every classification action can be undone. After you classify a test, a toast notification appears with an Undo button. You can also press Cmd+Z (Mac) or Ctrl+Z (Windows/Linux) to revert the last action. Undo restores the previous review status, removes any note that was created with the action, and returns you to the previous tab and selected test.

​

Bulk actions

You can select multiple tests and apply actions to all of them at once.

1. Use the checkboxes in the left panel to select individual tests, or use the group-level checkbox to select all tests in a group.
2. The action bar changes to show the number of selected tests with a blue highlight.
3. From here you can:
   • Bulk classify — assign the same status to all selected tests
   • Bulk notes — add a note to all selected tests
   • Bulk PDF export — export results for all selected tests
   • Bulk ticket creation — create tickets for all selected tests

Press Escape to clear the selection.

​

Keyboard shortcuts

The review flow supports keyboard shortcuts for fast triage.

​

Editing and rerunning tests

You can fix a test and re-run it without leaving the review flow: You can also open the Run History tab in the right panel to see all previous runs for the selected test in the same configuration (environment, browser, viewport).

​

Rerunning native (mobile) tests

When you rerun a native test from the review flow, Spur automatically uses the correct native platform configuration from the original run. The run modal opens pre-configured with the matching platform (iOS, Android, or both) and environment, skipping directly to the summary step. This means:

• Web tests rerun with the original browser and viewport
• Native tests rerun with the original native platform — no browser or viewport is applied

​

Creating tickets

From within the review flow, you can file a Jira ticket, a Linear issue, or an Azure DevOps work item for any test:

​

Emailing review results

Once a run has been reviewed, you can send a summary email to configured recipients or to a one-off address. The email shows the total runs, the classification breakdown, the reviewer’s name, and highlights the tests classified as bugs. You can send the email from three places:

• The Test Plan run page — use the Email button in the header.
• The end of the review flow — click Email Results on the completion screen.
• The top-right header inside the review flow — available once every test has been reviewed.

In the send dialog:

• Recipients set to After review in the Test Plan’s email alerts are selected by default.
• Add any one-off address by typing it in — the recipient does not need to be configured on the Test Plan.
• You can resend the email to someone who has already received it.

​

Exporting to PDF

You can export test results as PDF reports from the share menu:

• Single test — Click Share and select Export PDF to download a report for the currently selected test.
• Multiple tests — Select tests using bulk selection, then use Share to export all selected tests in a single bulk PDF.

​

Saving progress and resuming

You don’t have to finish a review in one session. Click Exit at any time — your progress is saved automatically. When you return to the test plan run page, the progress bar converts to a summary table showing all reviewed tests grouped by status. Tests with linked tickets show a ticket icon. You can re-enter the review flow from the summary to continue with the remaining tests. The goal of the review flow is to reach zero unreviewed tests: every failure, warning, and error has been triaged so nothing slips through before a release.
