Rational ClearQuest Test Manager supports the following roles:
The schema developer applies the CQTM package to an existing database. The schema developer also customizes the default schema for Rational® ClearQuest® Test Manager as needed. For more information, see Schema developer role with Rational ClearQuest Test Manager.
The project lead identifies the builds and iterations covered by the release. For more information, see Using a build record and Using an iteration record.
The test lead defines the scope of testing work and creates the necessary asset registry records to define the test planning hierarchy. The test lead creates the test plan records to cover the features (which may reference test motivator files) and the Rational ClearQuest Test Manager file locations for the repositories that contain test scripts and test motivator files.
After test execution of configured test case or test suite records, the test lead analyzes test results and test coverage with respect to Rational ClearQuest requirement and defect records associated with the test cases. The test lead can use Rational ClearQuest queries for reporting and charts to evaluate test coverage, tester workloads, and overall test progress.
The tester creates test cases, configuration, configured test case, and test suite records. The tester uses a supported Rational Test tool to develop test scripts for each test case record. The tester executes configured test case and test suite records, reviews the test results, and commits test results to the database. For more information, see User tasks for working with test assets for all Rational ClearQuest clients.
If the test assets in the Rational ClearQuest Test Manager environment are stored in a Rational ClearCase® VOB, the Rational ClearCase administrator sets up the Rational ClearCase environment. For more information, see Using Rational ClearCase to store test assets.
If the test project uses test assets from Rational TestManager, the Rational ClearQuest administrator moves this data by using the Migration tool supplied withRational ClearQuest Test Manager. The Rational ClearQuest administrator must install Rational ClearQuest version 7.0, including the Rational ClearQuest Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse that contains the Test Management plug-in.
