To associate a test motivator file (for example, a Word or Excel file)
with a test plan or test case record, you must add a file location. A file
location for test motivator files can be a shared file path or a Rational
ClearCase VOB location. In addition, the file location for test motivator
files may be in an Eclipse project, but is not required.
Note: Before adding
a file location for test motivator files, you must create an associated asset
registry record.
To add a file location for test motivator files:
- Determine where you store test motivator files that test plan and
test case records reference.
- Determine whether the location is a shared path or a Rational® ClearCase® VOB
location.
- On the Planning page of the Test Manager
view, select a File Locations folder associated with
a specific asset registry record and then click New File Location to
open the New File Location Wizard.
- The associated Asset Registry name is displayed.
Determine whether you need to select the Test assets in an Eclipse project
(RFT, RPT, TPTP) option. Click Next. (Note, if
you are using the Rational ClearQuest® Client,
you do not have the option of using an Eclipse project for a file location
because Rational Manual Tester does not use an Eclipse project.)
- If you selected the Test assets in an Eclipse project (RFT,
RPT, TPTP) option, select an Eclipse project for the file location of
test assets and select a location to store logs.
- If did not select the Test assets in an Eclipse project (RFT,
RPT, TPTP) option, type the Name for the file location
and click Browse to select a file and log location.
- Click Finish.
- If the file location is in a Rational ClearCase VOB,
you must associate a Rational ClearCase view
to access it.
After a file location for test motivator files is created, and, if
necessary, a Rational ClearCase view
is associated, when the Associate Test Motivator File option
is selected for a test plan or test case record, the defined file locations
are displayed in the Test Motivator File Association window.
