Lesson 2.2: Set up the review process

Before testing begins, best practices advise that you have the test plan reviewed. The Formal Review section provides a way for the entire team to collaborate in the development of the test plan; it can help your business processes comply with applicable industry standards and regulations. In the previous lesson, you added a new requirement to the test plan. In this lesson, you continue as the test architect and begin the approval process.
  1. If you have not already done so, log in as the test architect (Userid: amy, Password: amy).
  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. From the table of contents, click the Formal Review section.
  4. To set up the review process for this test plan:
    1. Click the Add Approvers/Reviewers icon (Add).
    2. In the Types field, make sure Approver is selected.
    3. Type the test manager name, mary, in the search field.
    4. In the Matching users field, click Mary, Test Manager, and then click Add & Close.
    5. Click Save.

      This action assigns a work item, or task, for the test manager. When a team member assigns a work item to you, it is displayed in the My Tasks viewlet of your dashboard.

  5. Log out as test architect.
The test manager will receive a work item in her My Tasks viewlet. In the next lesson, you log in as Mary to review the test plan.
