Viewing existing test cases in a project

With IBM® Rational® Quality Manager, you can easily create a list of the existing test cases in a project. If you have large projects with hundreds or thousands of test cases, you can use the product's filtering capabilities to greatly reduce the number of test cases in the view and help you locate the desired test cases more quickly.

To view the existing test cases in a project:

  1. From the left sidebar, point to the Construction icon and click View Test Cases.

    The View Test Cases window opens.

    The top portion of the window contains the View Builder editor, which lets you create a customized filter.

    The bottom portion of the window contains the search results.

    Note: Unlike Rational Quality Manager v1.0, no test cases are displayed until you run the search.
  2. In the View Builder, several criteria are presented to help you narrow down your search for test cases. If you would like to add additional searchable attributes, click the Add Criteria icon, select each attribute, and click Add.
  3. In the View Builder, do one of the following:
    • Select My test cases only to limit the search to your own test cases.
      Note: My test cases only will limit the search to those test cases that you created yourself or to test cases to which you have been assigned a work item.
    • Deselect My test cases only to expand the search to all users' test cases.
  4. In the Name field, type any portion of a test case name, for example, import, to limit the search to test cases that contain that text in the name.
  5. In the Originator field, click the down arrow and select one or more test case originators from the list.
    Note: An originator is the user that created the test case.
  6. In the State field, click the down arrow and select one or more states from the list to limit the search to those test cases that are in any of the selected states.
  7. Select a value for any additional criteria that you added earlier.
  8. Click Run to run the search.

    The search results are displayed in the form of a table in the bottom portion of the View Test Cases window.

  9. After you run the search, there are further actions you can take to modify the results.
    • Click the Type Filter Text field (Type Filter Text) at the upper, right-hand corner of the search results section to limit the results to those test cases that contain the text that you type.
    • In the Group by field, click the down arrow and make a selection to sort the results by one of the available categories.
    • Click the Manage Test Case Categories icon (Manage Test Case Categories) to add and remove categories to be displayed in the search results.
    • Click the Change Display Settings (Change Display Settings icon to change the columns that are displayed in the search results or to change the width of each column.
    • Select a test case and click the (Remove) icon to delete the test case from the list.
