About Implementing Tests
After you've created the test design for each test case, you're ready to implement the
test case. You implement a test case by building a test script and then associating that
test script with the test case.
Implementation is different in every organization. You can use your preferred tools or
manual test efforts to build any kind of test script appropriate for your testing
environment.
For example, one testing organization might decide to implement all of the test cases
by recording the test script using Robot.
Another organization might decide to write modular pieces of software using a
combination of Visual Test scripts, batch files, and Perl scripts, and then
programmatically tie them together in a higher-level script.
You can then run the test case or the test script in TestManager. You can also insert the
test script into a suite and run the suite. For information about running
implementations, see Executing Tests on page 115.
