Test plan is a primary stateful record, which represents a primary
grouping of intended tests. It can contain references to associated child
test case records or other test plans which further specify areas of related
tests.
Note: If the IBM Rational RequisitePro version 1.8 package is applied
to the schema and a test plan is a selected record type, a test plan record
will also have a Requirements page.
The
test plan record provides an organizational structure for the other test assets
in the project and has the following pages:
- Main
- Test Plans/Test Cases
- Legacy Data - this page is only used if the Migration
tool is used to migrate data from a Rational TestManager datastore.
- (Optional) Requirements - this page is only available
if the Rational® RequisitePro® version
1.8 package is applied to the schema.
- (Optional) Notes - this page is only available
if you use the Rational ClearQuest version 8.0 Enterprise
schema or apply the Notes package.
- History
A test plan record can be in the following states: Draft, For
Review, or Approved. Using Rational ClearQuest
queries, you can monitor the state of your test plan records.
Using
a test plan record you can:
- Change state
- Associate an asset registry record
- Associate a Rational ClearQuest requirement record (only when using the Rational RequisitePro integration
version 1.8)
- Associate an iteration record
- Associate a test motivator file (only when using a Rational ClearQuest
Client or Rational ClearQuest® Client)
- Define a parent and child relationship between other test plan and test
case records
