Before you begin
To ensure that all other Rational ClearQuest Client and
Rational® ClearQuest® Client for Eclipse users
must use an identical
Rational ClearCase® view
to access a file location when executing a configured test case or test suite
record for a specific iteration, the administrator can capture an iteration
to their view association.
When a specific iteration is captured to a Rational ClearCase view
association, Rational ClearQuest Test
Manager compares the config spec for base Rational ClearCase and
stream name for all Rational ClearCase UCM
views associated with the same iteration value when executing test scripts
at the same file location.
About this task
To capture an iteration:
Procedure
- Open the ClearCase View Associations view. (To do so, from a Rational ClearQuest Client, click and from a Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse click to open the Show View window. Expand the Test Management folder
and select ClearCase View Associations.)
- Select an entry to capture to the Rational ClearCase view's
associated iteration value.
- Click Capture Configuration Specification for
a base Rational ClearCase view
and Capture Stream Name for a UCM Rational ClearCase view.
The selected Rational ClearCase view
is captured for the associated Iteration. If you need to release
the view, select the Rational ClearCase view
association and click Release Configuration Specification or Release
Stream Name.
What to do next
After a
Rational ClearCase view
is captured to an iteration, when any user executes the associated test script,
Rational ClearQuest Test
Manager compares the config spec or stream name of the captured view with
any other
Rational ClearCase views
used to access the same file location. If any
Rational ClearCase view
used by another client is not identical to the captured view, the remote user
receives a warning message indicating that their
Rational ClearCase view
is not identical to the captured view.
