Thank you Paul.

We wonder why we need both and why all the summaries (for example, in the test plan) based on the user-entered value and not on the calculated value?

Thanks
Michal

We need both (and we summarize the user-entered value) since the run time for manual test scenarios is generally not accurate. For example, a tester may start a manual test execution and leave it for a period of time before completing the test execution.  In addition, the run time is not available for the offline test execution scenario.

Time spent is an user-entered value in the test case execution record and total run time is calculated total time of an execution result.

 Hi Paul,


As mentioned in your above comment if "total Run time" is not accurate then how do we get the accurate time for test execution...?

Thanks
Kunal

From a feature perspective, this is not supported.  Please open a RQM enhancement.  Of course, you could write a custom report to calculate the execution time for each step result of a test result.  For automated tests, there are options for including metrics in the test results (see https://jazz.net/library/article/809).
