Associating Defects with Tests
TestDirector Tutorial
Associating Defects with Tests
You can associate a test in your test plan with a specific defect in the Defects
Grid. This is useful, for example, when a new test is created specifically for a
known defect. By creating an association, you can determine if the test
should be run based on the status of the defect. Note that any requirements
covered by the test are also associated with the defect.
You can also create an association during a manual test run, by adding a
defect. TestDirector automatically creates an association between the test
run and the new defect.
In the following exercise, you will associate your defect with the Cruise
Booking test in the Test Plan module, and view the associated test in the
Defects Grid.
To associate a defect with a test:
1 Display the Test Plan module.
Click the Test Plan tab.
2 Select the Cruise Booking test.
In the test plan tree, expand the Cruise Reservation sub-folder under
Cruises.
Right-click the Cruise Booking test in the test plan tree or Test Grid, and
choose Associated Defects.
