Rational ClearQuest Test Manager is a feature that manages the
components of a testing environment.
The following components are managed:
- Test plans
- Test cases
- Test requirements
- Test configurations
- Test scripts
- Test results
Test plans identify test cases, which represent the ways in which users
are likely to use the product. Test scripts are written to ensure that the
requirements for the test cases are met. The results returned when the test
scripts run are evaluated to determine project status, in particular, the
progress toward completing the work represented by the next milestone in the
project. The hierarchical relationship between these files, documents, and
data is represented by records in a
Rational® ClearQuest® database.
The records in the database are organized in a test planning hierarchy.
Rational ClearQuest Test
Manager supports three phases of testing:
- Planning
The asset registry record is created first: test plan, test
case, and configured test case records are then created to support the planning
hierarchy.
- Authoring
Test scripts are created and associated with test case and
configured test case records.
- Execution
Configured test case or test suite records are executed and
then test results are reviewed; If useful, the results are committed to the Rational ClearQuest database
to create test log and suite log records.
