Creating and editing test cycles

Test cycles can be created and modified from the Test Cycle Manager.

About this task

Procedure

  1. If not already open, launch the Test Cycle Manager.
  2. To create a test cycle, click New. To edit a test cycle, in the Test Cycles table, select the test cycle to edit and click Edit.

    If you are creating a test cycle, the Add Test Cycle dialog box is displayed. If you are editing a test cycle, Edit Test Cycle dialog box is displayed.

  3. Add or modify a name for the new test cycle in the Name field.
  4. Add or modify any comments to be saved with the test cycle in the Comments field.

    By default, the current project is joined to the new test cycle upon its creation. To change this option and create the test cycle without joining the current project, disable the Join current option at the bottom of the dialog.

  5. When finished, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel to return to the Test Cycle Manager without saving any changes.

Results

More test cycle details (that is, current and previously associated projects and joined users) can be displayed by selecting the test cycle and clicking Details.
