The documentation panel provides a document structure showing the Test Management phases:

SPECIFY	Specify test items and test environment. Document what is needed for testing; for example, applications, test data, host environments, personnel.
PLAN	Plan test and completion criteria. Document a test plan schedule, and also the completion criteria for the test (this might be, for example, a Service Level Agreement showing minimum response times).
PREPARE	Prepare test environment. Document what needs to be done to set up the test environment; for example, test data extracts.
DELIVER	Run the test. Document the schedule's run.
ANALYZE	Analyze the results of the run. Did the run meet the completion criteria? Check for unexpected results.
INTERVENE	Intervention and correction. Document what actions were taken to correct the errors or unexpected results.
ITERATE	Iterate or exit. What part of the test was rerun? Document when the test was considered finished.
EXIT	Test completed. Document when the test was completed.
WTMDOC	Edit WSim/TM document. This is the skeleton document that includes the 8 members previously described.
MAKEDOC	Create WSim/TM document. Takes the skeleton document and embeds the eight members to create a sequential data set. This data set can then be scripted (perhaps using BookMaster®) or sent to another system for printing.
COMPREP	List Run Schedule Completion Report. Lists the Completion Reports for this project.
NOTES	Edit Notes data set. Edits the Notes data set for this project. There must be at least one testcase, testgroup, testcycle, or schedule that has notes associated with it before this option can be invoked.
