Procedure documentationAdjust Test Scope in Graphic

 

The graphical view shows all nodes in the business process hierarchy in the sequence of their test effectivity. You can read the following values for each node, by dragging the mouse over it:

  • Time for automatic tests, in minutes (proportion of bar in green)

  • Time for manual tests, in minutes (proportion of bar in orange)

  • Test coverage (blue data point)

The nodes in the test scope have a light green background. A black line at the left-hand side indicates nodes which were added to the test scope by structure attributes or manually, and must be tested. A black line at the left-hand side indicates nodes which were removed from the test scope manually, and are not tested.

Procedure

Change test scope by clicking

To increase the test scope, click on a node which is not yet in the test scope. The system puts all nodes up to the selected node, in the test scope, and adjusts the coverage and resource details automatically. If there is a black line at the right-hand side, you can only add the nodes up to this line, to the test scope.

To reduce the test scope, click on the node in the test scope which is to remain as the last node in the test scope. The system removes all subsequent nodes from the test scope, and adjusts the coverage and resource details automatically. If there is a black line at the left-hand side, you can only remove the nodes from this line, from the test scope.

Change resource value display
  1. Under Resource Value, choose one of:

    • Cumulated: The values for the test resources and coverage are summed.

    • Individual: The values for the test resources and coverage of each node is shown as an absolute value.

    Example Example

    The display type influences the display of the resources and test coverage, but not the sequence of the nodes. The graphical view shows, for example, two nodes in the business process hierarchy, with the following details:

    Node 1

    Node 2

    Test coverage

    70%

    20%

    Automatic test time (minutes)

    30

    20

    Manual test time (minutes)

    10

    20

    The test coverage is calculated as the difference from the previous node. If, for example, two nodes use a similar number of objects, and a lot of objects are used in both nodes, node 1 has a significantly higher coverage (e.g. 70%) than node 2 (e.g. 20%). In this example, only 20% of all objects are not yet covered by other tests, and are used in node 2.

    The resources for manual and automatic tests are derived from the test case details, or, if none are available, from default values.

    End of the example.
