Cross Product test case sharing

Post by trimper »

I would like to have a product that is a master product, which would contain all templates for different components you would find in our products. I have done so, but found out you can only create a test plan out of 1 pre-existing test plan from another product.

Is there a way, once my plan is created, to pull in more test cases from other plans out there?

For example: A site contains ABC and XYZ component, but not the DEF component. I want to just pull the test plans for ABC and XYZ from my template product which has all components in it.

I guess I could make a separate test plan per component... but I\\\'m unsure I want to do that.

Thoughts / feedback ?

I\\\'m running 1.6 RC2 as a demo at the moment.

Should help using keywords? You can assign a keyword to define a set of test cases. And than for adding TCs to Test Plan just use filter to this keyword. Is it solution for you?

Hi,

I would like to do the same. Keywords is not a solution for me because I would use test cases from another product. In the keyword filter only appear keywords within the project.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

There is configuration parameter which allows to share test plans over more products. I don\'t remember name, but you surely find it if you go through the Config.

stupid questions:
1. are you sure you are proper rights to see the tesplans ?
2. what about the filter by product check ?

You could patch your TL if this functionality is mandatory for you. Remove condition from the SQL which filter list of Test Plans.
Or modify Test Plan record in DB: product ID = 0 and set $g_show_tp_without_prodid = true.
