A configuration record represents the test configuration platform for the
system under test. For example, if the system under test is designed to support
Windows, UNIX, and Linux platforms, you must create three configuration records.
- Before creating a configuration record, you must first create a configuration
attribute and a configuration value record. When you create a configuration
record, you must associate configuration attribute and configuration value
records.
- To execute a configured test case record, that record must be associated
with a configuration record. You must execute the configured test case on
the platform that is specified in the configuration record.
- To execute a test suite record, that record must be associated with a
configuration record; all the configured test case records associated with
the test suite must also be associated with the same configuration record.
- Using Rational ClearQuest queries, you can review and analyze test results
with respect to specific configurations.
