What are the WorkStates for Test Cases in Tosca?

• A. IN_WORK, PLANNED, IN_PROGRESS.
• B. NOT_STARTED, IN_PROGRESS, DONE.
• C. PLANNED, IN_WORK, COMPLETED.
• D. READY, RUNNING, FINISHED.

Answer: (C)

Work states show the lifecycle of a Test Case in Tosca, signaling where it stands in preparation and readiness for execution. The official sequence is PLANNED, IN_WORK, and COMPLETED. PLANNED means the test case has been identified and is awaiting real work to begin. IN_WORK indicates someone is actively building or modifying the test case, adding steps, parameters, or configurations. COMPLETED signifies that the work on the test case is finished and it’s ready for execution or formally closed in the repository.

These states help teams coordinate responsibility and track progress, moving from planning to active development and finally to completion. Other naming schemes like NOT_STARTED, IN_PROGRESS, DONE or READY, RUNNING, FINISHED aren’t the standard Work States for Test Cases in Tosca, so sticking with PLANNED, IN_WORK, and COMPLETED keeps reporting and workflow consistent.
