Explore tests

You can explore the test configuration of a solution and its related solutions. To explore which elements are related to a specific element in a test configuration, pin an element.

You can pin an element of these types:
  • Requirement
  • Business process
  • Test suite
  • Test run
  • Role
The test explorer gets the test configuration data from the selected snapshot. If the latest snapshot is not up to date, you can create a new snapshot.

Create snapshot of test configuration

Manager

 		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.
Note
The snapshot gets the test-related elements of all solutions in the current environment.

Explore test configuration

Manager
You can explore the test configuration of the current solution and its related solutions. To explore which elements are related to a specific element in the test configuration, pin an element.
You can pin an element of these types:
  • Requirement
  • Business process
  • Test suite
  • Test run
  • Role
Example
Pin test run
For example, for a pinned test run, you can explore:
  • The related test suite.
  • The related business processes for the test suite. A test suite can be linked to several business processes.
  • The related requirements. Not only the requirements are shown of the pinned test run, but also of the related test suite and business processes.
  • The related roles. These are the roles as defined for the test cases of both the pinned test run and its related test suite.
Note
The snapshot contains the test-related elements of all solutions in the current environment.
If you have not yet pinned an element or if you unpinned a selection, only the elements of the current solution are shown.
If you pin an element of a specific solution, also the related elements are shown of:
  • Referenced solutions.
  • Solutions that have the specific solution as a reference.
