This topic describes how to assign tests to our testing cycle. The goal is to select those tests that best cover the defined
quality goals. One of the quality goals is based on the requirement risk. The typical practice is to test things with high
risk first.
-
In the
Filter Criteria area on the left side, under
Quality Goals, check the
Requirement Risk check box.
The list of
Matching Tests is narrowed down to the tests that are critical.
-
In the
Matching Tests area, open a column header's context menu to sort, filter or group tests. That helps to select the tests that should be scheduled.
-
Select one or more tests, drag them to the
Testing Cycle area on the right side and drop them to our testing cycle.
To assign tests to a testing cycle, you can also right-click on the selected tests and select
Assign tests to cycle. When adding tests to a testing cycle, the indicator for already used resources is updated. Move the mouse over this indicator
for detailed information about the overall capacity, the planned time, and the time left.
-
After scheduling all tests with a critical risk, schedule those with a high risk. After that, schedule those with a medium
risk, and so on.
The tests assigned to our testing cycle have moved to the
No specific tester row. In the next step, we will assign tests to manual testers.
