Before you begin
Before creating a test case record, consider the relationship to test
plans and whether platform-dependent or independent test scripts will be created
for the system under test. A test case record can be related to one or more
test plan records and to one or more configured test case records. Before
you can create a test case record, you must have already created a parent
test plan record.
