IBM Rational TestManager, Version 7.0.1 Readme

TestManager now makes it easier to understand the test results by displaying test log items in different colors in the Test Log window. Each color of the test log items indicates the following:

• Green: If all passed
• Red: If at least one failed
• Yellow: If all passed but with at least one warning
• Blue: If all passed but with at least one with information
• White: None of the above. You must open the test log in the Test Log window to understand the test results

You can rearrange the order of test execution in any suite by doing the following:

1. Select the test cases or test scripts to rearrange.
2. Select Edit > Move up or Move down. Alternately, you can also use the keys Ctrl+ Up arrow or Ctrl + Down arrow.

TestManager now supports deleting multiple manual scripts.

By default, if a test case is associated to both manual and automated implementations then, automated implementation would take the precedence of executing test cases. You can change the precedence of the implementation by selecting the menu options, Tools > Option > Run > Execution Precedence. 

When a suite is scheduled to run repeatedly at a specific time from the command line, a new log is created each time it is run. For example, if a suite is scheduled to run repeatedly at every hour, a new log file is created at each hour the suite is run. 

TestManager now supports associating and disassociating test inputs, configurations, and iterations of multiple test cases and test case folders.

Double-click on any test case to view its properties instead of right-clicking and selecting Properties as a drop-down menu option.
