TestRail - To Do & Notifications

Once a test case or test run is assigned to a user, it appears on the user’s to-do list. Every user has its own to-do list for each project he is assigned. Dashboard provides a quick view of user's to-do task for all projects. Todo section can be used to view the to-do list of other team members or the entire team as well. It provides an easy way to see the workloads and progress of individual team member.

Notification

Email notification is one of the attractive features of TestRail. It notifies to assigned user about test changes or test results made by other users. For example, if a test has been assigned to a user and another user adds a comment or result to the test, the assigned user is notified by email.

It is also possible to subscribe to tests of other users or even entire runs by clicking the small email icons on the relevant pages.
