Before you begin
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.
About this task
To add a file location for test motivator files:
Procedure
- 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.)
- 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.
What to do next
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.
