Lesson 3: Add existing test cases to a test suite

In this lesson you add existing test cases and their associated test scripts to the new test suite.

1. If you have not already done so, log in as the tester (User ID: tanuj, Password: tanuj).
   If you are prompted with a project login dialog box, select the JKE Banking (Engineering Test Management) project.
2. If you do not have the test suite open, in the main menu, click Construction > Browse > Test Suites.
3. From the list of test suites, click (Engineering Test Management Tutorial) Regression Test Suite in the Name column. The test suite opens in the test suite editor.
4. Click the Test Cases section.
5. Click the Add Test Cases icon ().
   The Add Test Cases window opens and displays a list of all test cases in the project.
6. In the Filter by Test Plan section, select Development Test.
   Selecting a test plan filters the list to display only the test cases that are part of the Development Test test plan. By including both the test cases and the test suite in the same plan, you can plan for the execution of the suite as part of the testing activities for the plan. The test suite execution records will run in the context of the test plan and test plan milestones. Also, all test suite execution results (including test case execution results) will be associated with the Development Test test plan.
7. To find the first test case to add to the suite, in the Type Filter Text field, type dividend. This filters the list of test cases to show only those with "dividend" in the name.
8. Select Allocate Dividends to a Single Cause, and then click OK.
   The test case is listed in the Test Cases section of the test suite.
9. Click the Add Test Cases icon again and add the Dividend Allocation by Percentage test case.
   The two test cases are displayed in the Test Cases section.
   In this scenario, and in many test suites, the order of the test cases is important. For example, you want to make sure that the functionality to allocate dividends by percentage works before you attempt to donate to a cause. Notice that the test cases are listed in the wrong order in the Test Cases section.
10. Click Save.
11. You can manage execution order by editing the Execution Order column, which allows you to directly assign the position for each test case.
    When you change the execution order, the test case is inserted at the specified position and all subsequent test cases are automatically renumbered.
12. In the table of contents, click Summary to return to the Summary section of the test suite.
13. Now that the test suite contains test cases, you can modify the weight of the test suite to reflect the weights of the associated test cases. Click the Calculate weight icon.
    Notice that the test suite weight changes from 100 to 300. The test cases in the suite have weights of 100 and 200, so the new weight for the test suite is 300.
14. Save the test suite.
