If you are storing test assets in a Rational ClearCase VOB, you
must establish an administration policy to ensure the integrity of
test results.
For any specific asset registry and iteration combination, to ensure
the integrity of test results, an identical Rational® ClearCase® view
(for base Rational ClearCase)
or an identical Rational ClearCase stream
(for UCM Rational ClearCase)
must be used on all remote Rational ClearQuest® Client and Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse desktops.
By default, Rational ClearQuest Test
Manager does not verify that Rational ClearCase views
and streams on different Rational ClearQuest Eclipse
clients that access the same asset registry and iteration combination
are identical. Each site must enforce its own monitoring for identical
views when executing from a specific file location associated with
an asset registry and iteration.
To implement a more restrictive policy when storing tests assets
in
Rational ClearCase VOBs,
you must do the following:
- If you are using Rational Functional
Tester, Rational Performance
Tester, or Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) create
Eclipse projects for testing and provide instructions for users to
import these projects into their local Eclipse workspaces.
- Create all new file locations from the administrator's Rational ClearQuest Eclipse
client desktop.
- Associate views for accessing the file locations based on local
views on the administrator's desktop.
- Use the Capture Configuration Specification option
for base Rational ClearCase views
or the Capture Stream Name option for UCM Rational ClearCase views
for all relevant iterations from the administrator's desktop to restrict
access of the file locations to views or streams that are identical
to administrator's desktop.
- Instruct users that when executing a configured test case or test
suite record to not override the message that indicates the view's
config spec or stream does not match the captured config spec or stream.
Instead, base Rational ClearCase users
must select their view association in the Rational ClearCase View
Associations view and then select the Configure Configuration
Specification option. UCM users must change manually their
config specs so that the stream name of their UCM view matches the
captured stream name.
