# Test Artifacts in Avo Assure

In Avo Assure, test artifacts refer to the various entities used while creating, managing, and executing automation assets. The test artifacts include **Element Repositories**, **Test Cases**, **Execution Lists, Data Tables**, **Reusable Libraries**, and **End-to-End Flows**. Each of these artifacts serves a different purpose in the automation process and supports specific functionalities within the application.

## Understanding Different Statuses of Test Artifacts

The test artifacts move through different states that represent their lifecycle during creation, review, and version control. These states help users easily understand the current stage of an artifact while working with the application. 

The available states are:  

* New 
* In Progress 
* Under Review 
* Approved 
* Rejected 
* Checked In/Approved 
* Checked In/In Progress 
* Checked In/Under Review 
* Checked In/Rejected  

For example, when a test artifact is created, it starts in the **New** state. After editing begins, the state changes to **In Progress**. When the test artifact is submitted for review, it moves to the **Under Review** state. Based on the reviewer’s decision, the state changes to either **Approved** or **Rejected**. After the test artifact is pushed to Bitbucket, the state updates to **Checked In/Approved**.
