Bug fixes
- Adjust field name when rendering test execution on TestRun page. Fixes Issue #2794

- Makes display on HTML pages and editor preview the same. Fixes Issue #2659

Refactoring and testing
Convert two assignment statements to augmented source code. Closes Issue #2610 (Markus Elfring)
Rename method IssueTrackerType.report_issue_from_testexecution():
- Rename to _report_issue() which returns tuple of (object, str)
- In case new issue was not created automatically and the method falls back to manual creation the return value will be (None, str)
- report_issue_from_testexecution() will call _report_issue() internally and handle the change in return type
Note
- This change is backwards compatible!
- For customized issue tracker integration you will have to apply the same changes to your customized code if you wish new functionality, like post-processing of automatically created issues to work.
Add tests for backup & restore commands. Closes Issue #2695
