What does OBE (Overcome By Events) test execution status actually mean?

[wendy]

Hi there,

There are a few status for test execution and I would like to understand when the status called OBE is used. Other status are Pass, Fail, WIP, Unexecuted and Blocked.

Thanks for your help

OBE (Overcome By Events) The test was not conducted because it is no longer relevant due to changes. The test was unable to be run because the requirement changed, the feature was removed, or the implementation was updated.

So, the test is neither Passed, Failed, nor Blocked it simply became unnecessary to execute.

You should ask the people who own the process that your issues are going through.

We could take a guess, but it would be better for you to ask the people who are using it.
