Creating a test case record

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.

About this task

To create a test case record:

Procedure

  1. Log in to a database that supports Rational ClearQuest Test Manager.
  2. Using a supported Rational ClearQuest client:
    1. From a Rational® ClearQuest® for Windows® client, click Actions > New and from the Choose Record Type window, click TMTestCase and click OK.
