Creating Testplans
If you are using QA Organizer, the first step in creating automated tests is to
create a testplan. (If you are not using QA Organizer, the first step is creating
a test frame, which is described in the next chapter.)
A QA Organizer testplan consists of two distinct parts: an outline that
describes the test requirements, and statements that connect the outline to the
4Test scripts and testcases that implement the test requirements.
