A configuration record is a collection of attribute values that defines
testing environment. A testing environment may have a hardware and software
definition for a required runtime environment for executing a test script.
A configuration record might contain the following pairs of configuration
attributes and configuration values:
- Operating system - Windows XP
- Processor - 3 Ghz
- Memory - 1 GB
- Network - 100 Mbs
All configuration records are independent of an asset registry; a configuration
record can be associated with any test asset in the Rational® ClearQuest® database.
You can use any Rational ClearQuest client to create a configuration record.
A configuration record is required to create a configured test case and
test suite record. For more information, see Using a configuration record.
