The following table lists the inheritance rules for test case suspicion:
Managing Test Assets
Key to planning tests is managing the assets related to a test. Once you have an
established test with stable test assets, managing them as part of a greater test strategy
can save you time and energy. As part of managing test assets you can:
s
Upgrade test assets from previous versions of Rational projects.
s
Use the Datastore Doctor to verify test datastores and repair corrupted test
datastores.
s
Export and import test assets
s
Copy, cut, and paste test assets.
s
Learn about inheritance and test assets.
s
Add file-based test scripts to version control.
Upgrading from Previous Versions of Rational TestManager
To use the current version of TestManager with a Rational project created with a
previous version of the Administrator, you must upgrade the project. Upgrading
your project also lets you use the new features in this version of TestManager.
Note:
If your test assets are in version control, you must check in all assets before
upgrading a project and all users must disconnect from the project.
Test Case Suspicion Inheritance Rules
If
And Then
A test case is suspect
the test case has a
configured test case
the configured test case
inherits test case suspicion
from the parent test case.
You clear a suspect link in a
parent test case
the configured test case has
inherited suspect links and
noninherited suspect links
TestManager clears only
inherited suspect links in a
configured test case.
