About executing test suite records

A test suite executes an ordered list of configured test case records. You must use the Rational® ClearQuest® Client or the Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse to execute a test suite record.

To successfully execute a test suite record, the following conditions must be true:

After test suite executes, you can review the test results in the Uncommitted Results folder on the Execution page of the Test Manager view or the Test Results view. If the test suite test results are committed, a suite log record is created in theRational ClearQuest database. The suite log record contains a reference to each test log record for the associated configured test case records that were executed.

In addition, after a test result for a test suite is committed, you can use the Recently Committed Results folder in the Test Results view or the Execution page in the Test Manager view to submit a defect for any executed configured test case in the test suite.

Note: You are able to execute the test suite even if a configured test case in the test suite is associated to a test script with a test type that is not supported on the particular ClearQuest Client. When this occurs, the unsupported test type execution returns a message in the test results view indicating that the test type for the script is not supported on this client.
