Publishing a test baseline to developers

About this task

Publishing a baseline enables developers to update their projects to bring in the most recent changes that have passed the appropriate testing level.

The instructions in this operation assume that you already have created a test baseline and only need to publish it.

Procedure

  1. Select the appropriate baseline(s), right-click over the baseline(s), and choose Publish.
  2. Inform developers that they can update their projects to bring in changes.

Procedure

  1. Be sure your role is set to build_mgr.
  2. Find the project grouping that you want to create the baseline from.

    > ccm pg -l -rccm pg -l -r CM/6.4 -purpose "System Testing"

    1) All CM/6.4 System Testing Projects from Database M

    Use the results to specify the project(s) that you want to include in your new baseline in the next step.

  3. Add all projects and subprojects to your new baseline, and make any other changes to the baseline (-release, -purpose, and so forth).
    Note: Be sure to include all projects that make up your application in the baseline.

    > ccm baseline -createccm baseline -create baseline_name -pg @1 -state test_baseline

    where baseline_name is the name you want to assign to the baseline.

Results

You have now created a new baseline, which saves a snapshot of the build that went to SQE for testing. Additionally, developers can see what’s been included in this latest build.
