Before you begin
Before you create a file location, you must define the repositories
for test assets. How you define the repository depends on which Rational Test
tool or Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform test tool you use with
Rational ClearQuest Test Manager. The repository can either be set up by the
administrator for an entire site or by each user on their desktop. Before
you define a repository, you must create associated asset registry and iteration
records.
About this task
To define a repository for a file location:
- For RFT or RPT, create a new Eclipse project by clicking and selecting Resource and
then click . This places a RFT or RPT Eclipse
project in the Eclipse workspace.
- An Eclipse project location can then be added as a file location
with Rational® ClearQuest® Test
Manager. To create a file location for the Eclipse project, on the Planning page
of the Test Manager view, select the File Locations folder
and click New File Location.
- The Rational Test
tool (RMT) does not use the Eclipse workspace, so the process of adding a
file location for a RMT project is different. When the testing project is
not in an Eclipse workspace, you must create a shared location for the RMT
test assets. The RMT project location must then be defined as a file location.
Using the Planning page of the Test Manager view, select
the File Locations folder and then click New
File Location.
What to do next
When using test plan, test case, and configured test case records
with a
Rational ClearQuest Client or
Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse, when
you click
Associate Test Script or
Associate
Test Motivator File, only the
Rational ClearQuest Test
Manager file locations are displayed for selection.
