checkbox should log what test plan it executed in the submission file.

[Jeff Lane ]

It's possible to have an infinite number of test plans in a provider, which may be strikingly similar (e.g. you could have 3 plans that only vary by 5 items out of 50).

This can make it difficult to easily determine that a tester used the correct test plan.

So Checkbox should, somewhere, log what testplan it ran.

The best option would be for it to write this data to a test log that can be attached to the submission.xml, or perhaps exported as an environment var that can be read from a test inside the suite...

example:

export TEST_PLAN=$UNIT_CHOSEN_BY_TESTER

in test:

name: What_Test_Did_We_Run
command: echo $TEST_PLAN

Should be possible indeed to store this metadata in the new json report

now available in the new html report (part of the submission archive)
