The scripts and suites you develop form a set of regression tests that you run after
every software build. The outcome of a particular test can change during subsequent
iterations as old defects are fixed and new defects and other changes are introduced.
Incorporating a Test Script into Your Test Plan
After you create and record a test script, and associate it with one or more suites, it is
important that you incorporate it into your test plan. Recall that in the ClassicsCD test
plan, test case folders are organized by use cases. In Chapter 6, Test Planning, you
created the test case folder Arrange Shipment and the test case Display Estimated
Ship Date. In the next exercise, you will associate the new test script with this test
case.
Exercise: Add the new script to a test case.
