Creating Test Strategies

At the beginning of a release cycle, you define a set of criteria (or matrix) showing the various combinations that any given QA test plan can be run against. For example, the matrix for a software product might include criteria such as Server, Database, Browser, and so on. These criteria sets are known as test strategies.

To create a test strategy

  1. Navigate to Site Map > Release > Strategy Administration.

    2. The QA Test Strategy view appears.

  2. Add a new test strategy record.
  3. Complete the other fields. Some fields are described in the following table.

    4. Field
    Comments
    Interactivity
    Specifies whether the test is either in High Interactivity Mode or in Standard Interactivity Mode.
    Release
    Name or number of the product release with which this test strategy is associated.
    Test Class
    Type of test pass to be done with this test strategy.
    Web Srv App
    Application that runs on the selected Web server.

    After the test strategy is saved, it appears as a choice in the Suggested Strategies field in the QA Test Plan Administration view, where QA managers can associate their test plans with test strategies.
