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.
Note
The test package assignment is client-specific.
You have started the test plan management.
To assign a test package to a tester:
Select a test plan and choose
Manage Test Packages
.
Select a test package.
Choose .
Enter the tester’s user name in the
Assign Test Package
dialog box and choose

.

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‘.
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.
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.
