Creating a test plan record

Before you begin

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.

About this task

  3. Click the Main page:
