Chapter 4 - Implementing Tests
Customizing Test Assets
When you create a manual test script, you can add custom properties to tailor the
terminology associated with the test scripts to the standards and practices used
within your organization.
You can do the following to the properties of a test script:
s
Add up to three custom properties and values. (These appear in the
Custom
tab of
the New Test Script/Test Script Properties dialog box.)
s
Add new operating environments and modify or delete existing ones.
s
Add a new purpose or modify or delete existing ones. Assign a purpose to indicate
why you would use a test script.
s
Define test script options for a test script type, a test script source, a test script, a
test case implementation, or a test script in a suite. Use test script options to control
how a test script executes or to pass arguments to a test script. For information, see
Defining Test Script Options in the Rational TestManager Help Index.
To see the standard properties of a manual test script in ManualTest:
s
Click
File > Properties
.
To customize a manual test script in ManualTest:
s
Click
Tools > Customize Test Script
.
You can define both the property itself (the label) and the values that can be used with
that property.
For more information about customizing a test script, see the Rational ManualTest
Help.
You can also view and customize the properties of any test script in TestManager.
Associating an Implementation with a Test Case
After you've created an implementation, you can associate it with a test case. Then
run the test case, which runs its implementation. By associating test scripts with test
cases, you can run reports that provide test coverage information.
TestManager comes with built-in support for associating the following types of
implementations:
s
GUI test scripts
s
VU test scripts
