Lesson 5.2: Version the test plan

At any point in time, you can create a read-only snapshot of a test artifact (test plan or test case). You can use the snapshot simply as a record of your progress or you can copy the saved snapshot and edit it. In the previous lesson, you logged in as the test manager to approve a test plan. In this lesson, you continue as the test manager and create a snapshot of the test plan.

To create a snapshot of a test plan or test case at a particular point in time:

  1. If you have not already done so, log in as the test manager (Userid: mary, Password: mary).
  2. If you do not have the Classics Java™ Test Plan open, do the following:
    1. Point to the Planning icon (Planning), and click View Test Plans.
    2. In the View Builder window, deselect My test plans only, and click Run.
    3. From the list of test plans, click Classics Java Test Plan in the name column.
  3. Click the View Snapshots, just under the test name.
  4. Click Create New Snapshot.
  5. In the dialog box that opens, type in the following fields:
    1. Name: Classics Java Baseline
    2. Description: Version 1.0
  6. Click OK.
A read-only snapshot of the test plan is created:
