Define Tester Worklist

A test package is usually assigned to one tester. The tester finds this test package as a work list in the test transaction. You can also lock or delete a test package for a tester.

Assign Test Package to Tester

To assign a test package to a tester:

1. Go to the structure display of the test plan from which you have generated a test package.
2. Expand the tree structure and set the cursor on a test package.
3. Choose .
4. Enter the tester's user name in the Assign Test Package dialog box and choose Continue.

   The tester assignment is put in the hierarchy.

   Note

   • To reset a tester assignment, position the cursor on the name of the tester and choose .
   • If you want to test a test case twice, independently, you must copy the test package and assign each package to a different tester. For automatic test cases which run in the background the four eyes principle is superfluous because the test case run is so defined that any tester would get the same result.
     Caution

     If you assign a test case to several testers the test case result is displayed as follows:

   • If several testers have tested the same automatic test case in different test packages, the status entry of the last tester applies.
   • If several testers have tested the same manual test case in different test packages, the worst result applies.
   • If several testers are to test the same manual test case in different test packages and there are the test statuses 'OK' and 'open', the result is 'OK'.

Delete Test Package from Tester's Worklist

If you want to remove test packages from the tester worklist without losing the tester assignment, you can lock the assignments. This is useful above all when a test is finished and the tester should not change the status any more.

1. Go to the structure display of the test plan from which you have generated a test package.
2. Expand the structure completely so that you can see all test packages and their assignments.
3. Mark the tester in the test packages.
4. Lock the test packages with the  pushbutton or Goto → Lock Assignment.

   The assignment status icon changes from  (released) to  (locked).

   Note

   To reset a lock, mark the tester and choose the  pushbutton or the menu Goto → Release Assignment.

Delete Test Package Assignment

Delete the assignment of a test package to a tester in the Goto → Delete Assignment menu.

The testers find all released test packages in their worklist. You can search for all test packages of the tester in the Utilities → Tester Worklist menu in the test plan management.
