Test case overview
A test case answers this question: "What am
I going to test?" You develop test cases to define the things that
you need to validate to ensure that the system is working correctly
and is built with a high level of quality.
Importing test cases into Rational Quality Manager
You can import test cases that are saved as local XML files
directly into Rational® Quality Manager, where they are then visible in the View Test Cases page.
Creating a test suite
A test suite is a collection of test cases that are grouped
for test execution purposes.
Managing test plan and test case sections
You can add and remove sections
of individual test plans
and test cases and also configure the sections that are included in
test plan and test case templates.
Creating templates
You can use templates as a starting point for test plans
and test cases. You can start with one of the default templates, or
you can create new ones. You can also designate which templates are
the default.
Setting up a review process
You can set up a formal review
process in which several
team members can collaborate in the development of a
test plan or test case.
Adding a new test case to a test plan
You can create a new test case in the context of an existing test
plan or you can create a new test case independent of any test plan.
Adding test scripts to a test case
When you add a test script to a test case, it is listed
in the Test Scripts section of the test case.
Linking a test case with a work item in Rational Team Concert
If your team has set up cross-server communication with IBM® Rational Team Concert,
you can link your test cases to work items in IBM Rational Team Concert.
As such, you can set up a mapping between a feature that a developer
is working on and your test case.
