Before creating a test plan record, consider the hierarchy and relationship
of test plans that you will create for the system under test. Many test case
records can be related to a single test plan record.
Note: To
create a test plan record, you must first create an associated asset registry
record.
To create a test plan record:
- Log in to a database that supports Rational ClearQuest Test Manager.
- In the Rational® ClearQuest® Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse, open
the Test Manager view. On the Planning page, select
the Test Plan folder or a test plan record and click New
Test Plan.
- From the test plan record, click the Main page:
- Type a headline for the test plan in the Headline field.
- Click to select an Owner for the test
plan. Note: In Rational ClearQuest Test
Manager the Owner has no additional privileges.
- Click to select a Priority.
- Type an optional description in the Description field.
- The Test Motivator File list displays
associated external test motivator files. To add a reference to an external
test motivator file, click Browse and complete the
Test Motivator File Association window.
- The Asset Registry field displays the
parent asset registry value.
- Click Add and use the Browse Record Type
window to select an associated iteration record.
- Click the Test Plans/Test Cases page:
- If Test Manager view is used to create a new test plan from
the Test Plan folder, the Parent Plan, Child
Plans and Test Cases lists are empty. Click Select and
use the Browse Record Type window to select the associated parent test plan
record. As associations are created from child records to the test plan record,
these lists display the associations.
- If the Test Manager view is used to create a new test plan from
an existing test plan record, the Parent Plan list
displays the associated test plan parent record. The Child Plans and Test
Cases lists are empty. As associations are created from child
records to the test plan record, these lists display the associations.
- Click the Notes page. The Notes page
displays user-supplied information.
- Click the History page. The History page
displays an audit trail for changes to the record.
- Click OK to save the record.
