Before you begin
A test suite record contains an ordered list of configured test case
records. Before creating a test suite record, determine which iteration and
configuration records will apply to the test suite record.
Note: You must
ensure that the test suite record specifies the same platform as the platform
of the Rational® ClearQuest® Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse where
the test suite record will be executed.
About this task
To create a test suite record:
- Log in to a database that supports Rational ClearQuest Test
Manager.
- In the Rational ClearQuest Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse, open
the Test Manager view. On the Planning page, select
the Test Suites folder and click New Test
Suite.
- From the test suite record, click the Main tab.
The Main page displays general information.
- Type a headline for the test suite in the Headline field.
- Click to select an Owner for the test
suite. Note, in Rational ClearQuest Test
Manager the Owner has no additional privileges.
- Type an optional description in the Description field.
- The Asset Registry list displays the
parent asset registry record.
- Click Add and use the Browse Record Type
window to select an associated iteration record.
- Click the Execution page. The Execution page
displays the associated configuration, configured test case, and suite log
records.
- Click Add and use the Browse Record Type
window to select an associated configuration record.
- When a test suite record is created, the lists for Configured
Test Cases, Execution Order of Configured Test Cases,
and Test Suite Logs are empty. To associate and order
configured test case records, you must use the Test Manager view to locate
the test suite record and then click Configure.
- After a test suite record is executed, the associated suite
log record is displayed in the Test Suite Logs list.
- Click the History page. The History page
displays an audit trail for changes to the record.
- Click the Notes page. The Notes page
displays annotations to the record.
- Click OK to save changes to the record.
What to do next
Use the Test Manager view and the queries supplied by Rational ClearQuest
Test Manager to locate a specific test suite record for modification or state
changes.
