Creating the system testing projects

Copy a new project hierarchy from your baseline. This project is used to build the system testing area.

Procedure

  1. Find the baseline by using the Query dialog box.
  2. Right-click over the baseline and select Copy Projects.
  3. In the Copy Project dialog box, set the For Release value to the appropriate release.

    If an appropriate release is not in the For Release list, use Refresh Choices. If necessary, see Creating or copying a release.

  4. Set the For Purpose choice to System Testing.
  5. In the Copy Subprojects list, view the projects for the baseline.

    For example, if you develop your application on a Windows and UNIX platform, copy Windows projects separately from UNIX projects, using the appropriate Windows or UNIX machine. Additionally, if you develop your application for more than one release, create an integration testing project hierarchy for each release.

  6. Change the new project version to a meaningful name by typing a new name in the Versions field. If the projects you are copying need different versions, click to see each unique version of the projects being copied.

    Click Use Default and then type the new version for each entry.

    Change the version to indicate the release and platform for the project hierarchy, and that it is used for system testing. For example, a version of winxp_3.0_sys is appropriate for a system testing project on a Windows XP platform with a release of 3.0.

  7. By default, Rational® Synergy updates all new projects after it copies the projects. If you do not want the new projects to be updated, clear the Update new projects check box.
  8. Check the work area path and change it, if necessary.
  9. Copy the projects by clicking OK.
