Assign Status (SAP Library - The R/3 System Test Workbench)

Assign Status

Use

You assign a status to document the result of your test case. You can make processing notes or specify retests required, in the Test Workbench, as well as assigning the status. If you have a problem message system, you can also create a problem message which describes the test with errors in more detail, and is forwarded to a processor in a workflow.

Prerequisites

You are in Perform Test in the Test Workbench and have already performed a test case. You want to document the result.

If you want to create problem messages, problem message system has been setup, as described in the in Problem Overview prerequisites.

Procedure

Double-click on the icon under Status.

You go to the Status maintenance dialog screen.

Enter a status in the Status tab.
Enter the data required for Test Resources, Short Information and Retest.
Go to the Problem Messages tab and create a problem message if necessary.

The problem message is created in your problem message system. Your test administrator can get an overview of the number and contents of the problem messages.
