Creating an iteration record

Before you begin

Before creating an iteration record, identify the iteration milestones that have a testing impact. You must create an iteration record for each milestone. Before creating a iteration record, you must create an associated asset registry record.
Note: A configured test case or test suite record cannot be executed unless it is associated with an iteration record
In the Test Manager view, the Iteration folder is contained in a specific test plan hierarchy as defined by an asset registry record.

About this task

To create an iteration record:

Procedure

  1. Log in to database supporting Rational ClearQuest Test Manager.
  2. In the Rational® ClearQuest® Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse, open the Test Manager view. On the Planning page, right-click the Iterations folder, and click New Iteration.
  3. Complete the iteration form:
    1. Type a name for the iteration in the Name field.
    2. Click to select a Start and End date.
    3. The associated asset registry record name is automatically completed.
  4. Click OK.

What to do next

After completing the iteration record, you can associate a test plan, test case, configured test case, or test suite record with it either by clicking Add on the respective record forms or by selecting multiple records of the same record type and then clicking Associate Iterations.
