Creating Test Strategies

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

To create a test strategy

  1. Navigate to the Release screen, then the QA Test Strategies view.

  2. From the visibility filter, select Strategy Administration.

  3. Create a new strategy record, and complete the other fields as appropriate.

    Some fields are described in the following table.

    Field Comments

    Release

    Select the name or number of the product release associated with the test strategy.

    Test Class

    Select the type of test pass for the test strategy.

    Web Srv App

    Select the application that runs on the selected Siebel Application Interface.

    After you save the test strategy, it appears as a choice in the Suggested Strategies field in the Strategy Test Plan Admin view.

  4. Drill down on the Title field to access the QA Test Plans view if you want to associate test plans with the test strategy.

  5. Select the test plan you want to associate to the current test strategy.
