Recording Test Passes and Linking Test Plans

After a complete QA test plan is associated with a test strategy, you can run tests to validate the test plan. Because test plans are linked to features in Release Manager, QA managers can focus efforts of their teams on those test plans that are associated with the greatest number of new features. After executing each test, QA testers record the results in Release Manager and link each test pass to the test plan that it executes.

To record a test pass and link a test plan

1. Navigate to the Release screen, then the QA Tests view.

2. Create a new QA test record, and complete the fields as appropriate.

   Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Tester	Select the individuals associated with the test. Set the individual who conducted the test as Primary.
   Release	Displays the name or number of the product release associated with the test.
   Date	Select the date and time when you conduct the test.
   Status	Select the prototype stability that you assess during the test.
   Cover %	Type the percentage of the test plan that test covers.
   Pass %	Type the percentage of the test plan that passed the test.
   Type	Select the type of test that you conduct.
   Build	Select the product prototype that you test.
   Server OS	Select the type of operating system running on the server computer in the test environment.
   Client OS	Select the type of operating system running on the client.
   Database	Select the type of database running in the test environment.
   Client Type	Select the type of test computer that you use.

3. Drill down on the Test Plan field if you want to associate tests with the test plan.
