Executing a configured test case record

Before you begin
You must use a Rational® ClearQuest® Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse to execute a configured test case record. Before executing a configured test case record, the configured test case record must reference a test script. If the file location for the test script is stored in a Rational ClearCase VOB, a Rational ClearCase® view must be associated for the desktop where the configured test case is executed.
About this task
To execute a configured test case:
  1. Using the Rational ClearQuest Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse, open the Test Manager view. On the Planning or Execution page, locate the configured test case record you want to execute.
  2. Right-click the configured test case record and select Execute. In the Execute Test window:
    1. Select an Iteration value to associate with the execution.
    2. In the Build field, select a build record to associate with the execution.
      • To remove an existing entry, right-click it and select Clear Build.
      • To edit the fields of an existing build record entry, right-click it and select Modify.
      • To create a new build record and use it to replace the existing entry, right-click the existing entry and select New.
      • To select a build record, click Select. The Select Build window opens. You can search for a build record by entering a text string in the Search for Build_System_ID containing field and clicking Search, or by running a query. Click Browse to find and run an existing query. Click Create to create and run a query. Click New to create a build record.

    3. In the List of Computers grid, select one or more computers or computer groups on which to run the configured test case. The first time you use the Execute window the list contains an entry for your local computer. Click Add to add one or more computers to the list. In the Manage Computers window, select one or more of the listed computers or computer groups. If no computers or computer groups are listed, you can create them and add them by clicking New Computer or New Group. See Creating a computer record and Creating a computer group record for details about creating computer and computer group records. When you finish selecting the computers or computer groups, click OK.
  3. Click Finish. The Test Execution window opens to display execution progress.
What to do next
