Add a file location for a test motivator file

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:
  1. Determine where you store test motivator files that test plan and test case records reference.
  2. Determine whether the location is a shared path or a Rational® ClearCase® VOB location.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.)
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
  5. Click Finish.
  6. 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.
