You want to display or change attributes in the test plan of a project.
Example
You want to change the release status, the planned start and end date, or the person responsible for the test plan.
You have the authorization to change test plans.
In the Test Management
work center, under Test Plan Management
, you have selected the Test Plans
view.
The scope of attributes you can edit depends on whether you edit single or multiple test plans.
For multiple test plans, you can edit a limited range of attributes, for example, the system role or the person responsible, but not the test effort or attachments.
For a single test plan, you can edit the attributes, which you specified when you created it (except for, for example, Template Projects
), in the following tabs:
Tab | Function |
---|---|
| You can, for example, change the test plan release status. Caution If you change the system role of a test plan, this can lead to inconsistencies in the test results, if the test plan has already been processed, because you now access test cases in other systems. Only change the system role if it will not cause inconsistencies. End of the caution. |
| You can, for example, specify the documentation type for test notes. |
| You can specify whether, and at which level, to manage the expected test effort, and display or specify the expected test effort values. The system shows the actual effort (the actual effort expended by testers) automatically. For more information, see Plan Test Times and Effort. |
| You choose, for example, a system data container, which determines the systems in which the automatic tests are to be performed. See Using System Data Containers. Note If you use test cases of type referring, you must specify the target system in which the test cases referred to were specified, in the End of the note. |
| You can display an overview of the changes made so far to the test plan. |
| You can attach documents which are relevant for test planning and execution, e.g. EXCEL tables of test data, to the test plan. |
| You can display who created and last changed the test plan, and the associated times. |
| If a test plan was created with BPCA, you can display its results ID. See Business Process Change Analyzer. |
