Creating a test suite record

A test suite record contains an ordered list of configured test case records. Before creating a test suite record, determine which iteration and configuration records will apply to the test suite record.
Note: You must ensure that the test suite record specifies the same platform as the platform of the Rational® ClearQuest® Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse where the test suite record will be executed.
To create a test suite record:
  1. Log in to a database that supports Rational ClearQuest Test Manager.
  2. In the Rational ClearQuest Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse, open the Test Manager view. On the Planning page, select the Test Suites folder and click New Test Suite.
  3. From the test suite record, click the Main tab. The Main page displays general information.
    1. Type a headline for the test suite in the Headline field.
    2. Click to select an Owner for the test suite. Note, in Rational ClearQuest Test Manager the Owner has no additional privileges.
    3. Type an optional description in the Description field.
    4. The Asset Registry list displays the parent asset registry record.
    5. Click Add and use the Browse Record Type window to select an associated iteration record.
  4. Click the Execution page. The Execution page displays the associated configuration, configured test case, and suite log records.
    1. Click Add and use the Browse Record Type window to select an associated configuration record.
    2. When a test suite record is created, the lists for Configured Test Cases, Execution Order of Configured Test Cases, and Test Suite Logs are empty. To associate and order configured test case records, you must use the Test Manager view to locate the test suite record and then click Configure.
    3. After a test suite record is executed, the associated suite log record is displayed in the Test Suite Logs list.
  5. Click the History page. The History page displays an audit trail for changes to the record.
  6. Click the Notes page. The Notes page displays annotations to the record.
  7. Click OK to save changes to the record.
Use the Test Manager view and the queries supplied by Rational ClearQuest Test Manager to locate a specific test suite record for modification or state changes.
