Creating a Testplan

In the first line of the testplan insert double forward slashes, //. Note that
they turn green, indicating a comment. Type a name for your testplan.
For example, Sample Testplan for GMO. Enter another comment line
and type the following Author: Your Name. Finally, create another
comment line and type Date: Today's Date. The following shows what
your testplan should look like.

Note It is good practice to add comments to your work. They help to
provide others with an understanding of your intent, as well as,
serving as reminders to yourself.

Click File/Save.

You will develop this testplan further in the next section.

Importing a testplan

You can import an existing testplan into the testplan editor if it was written in
tab-indented format and saved in ASCII text file format. Simply select the
contents of the outline in the .txt file, copy to the clipboard and paste into
your testplan. SilkTest automatically formats the indentation of your testplan.

A testplan can also be developed as an outline in Word and then converted
into a testplan. For more information about importing testplans see the online
Help.
