Developing test cases, test suites, and test scripts

This section describes how to develop test cases, test suites, and test scripts.

Test cases and test suites
A test case answers the question: What am I going to test? You develop test cases to define the things that you must validate to ensure that the system is working correctly and is built with a high level of quality. A test suite is a collection of test cases that are grouped for test execution purposes.
Developing test cases
In the following topics you will see how to work with test cases - create, add new, and import test cases.
Developing test suites
This section deals with how to work with test suites.
Developing execution records for test cases and test suites
You have several options for creating and managing test case and test suite execution records, including creating them manually or automatically, creating them from a test plan, and editing existing test case and test suite execution records.
Developing manual test scripts
Developing and managing test scripts are essential parts of the Engineering Test Management lifecycle.
Linking test artifacts with Engineering Workflow Management files
You can create related resource links between any file stored in Jazz source control and Engineering Test Management , test scripts, test case results, and test suite results. Links are established through the Engineering Workflow Management (Engineering Workflow Management) client.
Referencing automated test scripts
You can use the Engineering Test Management environment to manage and run tests that were created with several other Rational test tools.
