You create a test configuration snapshot to be able to use the Test view. You can use the Test view to explore the test configuration. 
A test configuration snapshot is an image of the test configuration at a specific date and time. A test configuration snapshot consists of:

• Several elements: requirements, business processes, test suites, test runs, and roles. 
  
• The relations between these elements.

You create a test configuration snapshot in these cases:

• The first time you want to explore the test configuration. 
  
• Changes are made to the test configuration. So, these changes become available for the test configuration explorer.

Always create snapshots in the background in batch, as the creation of a snapshot can take quite some time. If you frequently make changes to the solution configuration, you can also define the recurrence.
