Execution history is lost if test case is removed see detail

[svaze74]

While creating a test plan in Testlink for next build, I observed that history of execution is not maintained of previous builds. To demonstrate this, here’s an example


1) In build 2.2, 68 test cases were executed and we could see the details of execution for that build on TestLink’s General Test Plan report.

2) Now when I created a build for version 2.3, all previous 68 test cases are added to build 2.3 for execution in Test Plan by default.

3) Now I don’t need some of the test cases in 2.3 that were executed on 2.2.

4) So I went on and disassociated some test cases from 2.3 test plan.

5) Now when I see the test execution report of 2.2, those disassociated test cases are removed from the execution history and tally of execution becomes 60 which was 68 earlier for build 2.2.

So tracking the Test plan Status by builds doesn’t give correct picture.

Solution: Please provide a way to save the assignment of test cases per build and also save its execution history per build.

Currently, it only links the test cases to builds but does not save its execution and hence reports always give the data for current build.

test case are linked to TEST PLAN + PLATFORM, not to build
What has happened is not an issue.
You have to control Tester Assignment at BUILD level to get what you want

Thank you fman. I got your point but its little confusing this way. I will try with it and let you know my feedback.

Thanks again.

OK, send your comments, but this is a design choice that 99.99% will not be changed
