Dry Running helps to validate whether the steps of the test case execute as expected.
The dry runs are considered trial executions. Hence, their execution results are not displayed in Reports and Dashboard portal. A dry run covers all the task and test case iterations as per the set of values defined in the associated Test Data Explorer.
A test case dry run uses the settings defined in the Systems Execution Profile.
