Define tests
Activity Flow

Use tests to define the tests to be done for a specific node in the business process hierarchy. The basis for a test is a test suite. Besides the test suite, you can also define these test-specific settings:

  • Test type
  • Priority
  • Status
  • Owner
  • Notes

Test manager Test manager Create test - Existing test suite Create test - Existing test suite You can create a test based on an existing test suite. For each test, you can define these test-specific settings: Test type Priority Status Owner Notes Procedure 1. Click Business process testing. 2. Click Design. 3. In the tree, select 'a node'. 4. Click the Tests tab. 5. Click Add to open the drop dialog. 6. Click the Existing tab. 7. In the list, find and select the desired record. 8. Click OK. 9. Close the page. Notes If you use milestones in your RapidValue project, the milestone of the test is the milestone as assigned to the related business process during scope definition. Create test - New test suite Create test - New test suite You can generate a test suite for the flow of a selected business process. You can select for which flow activities you want a test case created and added to the test suite. As a result, a test is created for the selected business process with the generated test suite linked to it. Procedure 1. Click Business process testing. 2. Click Design. 3. In the tree, select 'a node'. 4. Click the Tests tab. 5. Click Add to open the drop dialog. 6. In the Scenario field, type a value. 7. In the Test type field, select an option. 8. Click OK. 9. Click OK. 10. Close the page. Notes You can only generate a test suite in this way if a flow is defined for the selected business process. On the Flow page, for a selected flow, you can also generate a test suite with activity selection. To do so, on the Action pane, on the Manage tab, click Create test suite. On the dialog, fill in the fields and click OK. If you use milestones in your RapidValue project, the milestone of the test is the milestone as assigned to the related business process during scope definition. Define test settings Define test settings If the test is created or generated, you can review and change its settings, like test type, and priority. Procedure 1. Click Business process testing. 2. Click the Tests tab. 3. In the list, find and select the desired record. 4. Click Edit. 5. In the Test type field, select an option. 6. In the Priority field, select an option. 7. Close the page. Notes If you use milestones in your RapidValue project, the milestone of the test is the milestone as assigned to the related business process during scope definition. Design test Design test You can review and change the design of existing tests. Procedure 1. Click Business process testing. 2. Click the Tests tab. 3. In the list, find and select the desired record. 4. Click Design. 5. On the Design test suite dialog, on the Flow pane, click activities in the flow diagram to specify what to include in the test suite. You can also click a sub-flow to see the next level diagram and click activities to be added to the test suite. The activities that are added as test case to the test suite are shown in the Test cases section. Click OK. Note: Depending on how the test is created, it can happen that no scenario is defined for the test. If so, you can enter the scenario name on the Design test suite dialog. Define configuration

Define configuration

You can define the configuration of the system on which a test is done. A configuration can contain any information that defines the system, like the software version, the server on which the software is run, the settings to be used, any required devices, and so on.

For each solution, you can define several configurations. You can also set the default configuration for a solution.

If you generate test runs, the default solution configuration is also the default configuration for the generated test runs.

 Start Start Publish test specification Publish test specification For each test, you can publish a document with detailed information of the related test suite and its test cases. You can configure the level of detail of the information that is added to the document. You can find and download the published document on the Business process file share workspace, on the Documents tab. Procedure 1. Click Business process testing. 2. Click the Tests tab. 3. In the list, find and select the desired record. 4. Click Publish. 5. Click Test specification. 6. On the Publish Test specification document dialog, define the required settings and click OK. Notes On the Publish test specification document dialog, you can define these settings:Language - If you have defined translations for the solution, select the language in which you want to publish the solution. The elements in your solution that are not translated into this language are published in the original language. You can only publish in another language if this language is defined for the solution itself. So, for example, all content of the solution is translated to a specific language. However, no translation for this language is defined for the solution itself. In this case, you cannot publish in this language.Include version number - If this check box is selected, the version number of each element is added to the document.Include change history - If this check box is selected, the change history of each element is added to the document.Number of change history records - You can define the maximum number of change history records that is published for each element. For example, if you enter 3, only the latest three changes to the element are published. Publish test plan Publish test plan You can publish a document with the test plan for a solution. To each business process with tests defined, a table is added with the tests. For each test, this information is shown: Test, Type, Milestone, and Status. You can configure the level of detail of the information that is added to the document. You can find and download the published document on the Business process file share workspace, on the Documents tab. Procedure 1. Click Business process testing. 2. Click Publish. 3. Click Test plan. 4. On the Publish Test plan document dialog, define the required settings and click OK. Notes On the Publish test plan document dialog, you can define these settings: Language - If you have defined translations for the solution, select the language in which you want to publish the solution. The elements in your solution that are not translated into this language are published in the original language. You can only publish in another language if this language is defined for the solution itself. So, for example, all content of the solution is translated to a specific language. However, no translation for this language is defined for the solution itself. In this case, you cannot publish in this language.Business processes - Define which business processes are added to the document. All - All business processes in the selected solution are added to the document.In scope - Only the business processes that are in scope are added to the document.Gaps - Only the business processes that are marked as a gap are added to the document Include business process descriptions - If this check box is selected, for each business process that is added to the document, the description is also added to the document.Test details - If this check box is selected, for each test a separate section is added below the tests table. In this section, the test description is added and a table with the relevant test cases. For each test case, this information is shown: Test case, Priority, Status, and Owner.Scope and gap summary - If this check box is selected, for each business process that is added to the document, information is given on its scope and gap categorization. For example: This process is out of scope, categorized as fit.Include version number - If this check box is selected, the version number of each element is added to the document.Include change history - If this check box is selected, the change history of each element is added to the document.Number of change history records - You can define the maximum number of change history records that is published for each element. For example, if you enter 3, only the latest three changes to the element are published. End End Configuration definition  required? Configuration definition  required? Yes No
