Working with test results

These topics describe the tasks that users can perform with test results.

When you execute a configured test case or test suite record from the Rational® ClearQuest® Client or the Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse, the test results are displayed in the Execution page of the Test Manager view and the Test Results view. Test results are not available as records in the Rational ClearQuest database for queries and reports until they are committed.

When you commit results from the Uncommitted Results folder on either the Execution page of the Test Manager view or the Test Results view, a test log or suite log record is created in the Rational ClearQuest database.

If you are using the version 7.0 Enterprise schema or have modified a schema to support a defect association with a TMTestLog record, you can submit a defect from the uncommitted or committed test results.

After the test results are committed, the information contained in the associated test log or suite log record is available for Rational ClearQuest queries and reporting. Also, after a test result is committed, the Test Results view and Execution page of the Test Manager view presents a list of Recently Committed Results for the current session.

In addition, Rational ClearQuest Test Manager supports the direct execution of a test script from a supported Rational Test tool or Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) test tools. After executing the test scripts outside of Rational ClearQuest, you can use the Rational ClearQuest Client or the Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse to import the results. Using the Import Test Results icon from the Test Manager view, you can associate a log file for the executed test script with a configured test case record. This import operation creates a test results entry in the Uncommitted Results folder on the Execution page of the Test Manager view and the Test Results view. After a test result is committed, a test log record is created and is available in the Rational ClearQuest database for queries and reports.
