Modifying a test plan record

Before you begin

Before modifying a test plan record, consider the hierarchy and relationship of test plans you will create for the system under test. Many test case records can be related to a single test plan record, and a test plan record can be a child or parent of another test plan.

About this task

To modify a test plan record:

Procedure

  1. In a Rational® ClearQuest® Client or a Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse, open the Test Manager view. On the Planning page, locate the test plan record and click Modify.
  2. From the test plan record, click the Main page:
    1. Click and type in the Headline field to change a headline for the test plan.
    2. Click to select a different Owner for the test plan. Note: In Rational ClearQuest Test Manager the Owner has no additional privileges.
    3. Click to select a different Priority.
    4. Type in the Description field to add or change an optional description.
    5. The Test Motivator File list displays associated test motivator files. If test motivator file is defined, the path is displayed. To add or change an test motivator file, click Browse and complete the Test Motivator File Association window.
    6. Click to select a different Asset Registry.
    7. Click Add and use the Browse Record Type window to select an associated iteration record.
  3. Click the Test Plans/Test Case page:
    1. Click Select and use the Browse Record Type window to select a different associated parent test plan record.
    2. When a test plan record is created, the lists for Child Plans and Test Cases are empty. As associations are created from child records to the test plan record, these lists include the associations.
  4. Click the Notes page. Click in the Notes page to add user-supplied information.
  5. Click the History page. The History page displays an audit trail for changes to the record.
  6. Click OK or Apply to save the record.

What to do next

After you apply your changes, any associated test case records reference the updated test plan record.
