Before you begin
You can associate these records in a test planning hierarchy:
- A child test plan record with a parent test plan record
- A child test case record with a parent test plan record
- A child configured test case record with a parent test case record
About this task
The general rule for associating children to parents is that the
association must be upward in the hierarchy. That is, a child record can associate
with a parent record, but a parent record cannot create an association to
a child record.
Procedure
- To create a child-to-parent association:
- For a test plan record, click the Test Plans/Test
Cases page and click Select to add a reference
to the parent test plan record.
- For a test case record, click the Main page
and click Select to add a reference to the parent
test plan record. Click the Execution page to display
child configured test case records. Note, to associate a configured test case
record with a parent test case record, you must make the association from
the configured test case record.
- For a configured test case record, click the Main page
and click Select to add a reference to a parent test
case record.
- For the record in which you have created the parent or child association,
save the record to the Rational® ClearQuest® database.
What to do next
After creating parent-to-child associations, you can use
Rational ClearQuest queries
to identify the relationships when evaluating test coverage.
