Actualization of test cases

[Teradach]

Hello there,

i seem to fail in actualizating testcases after adding them to a test plan. I remember doing this often and successfully in TestLink 1.6.2, did something change in 1.7.1 or did i misconfigure?

1. I create a test case
2. i create a test plan
3. i execute the testcase
4. the software changes and so does the testcase. I create a new version.
-> How can i now use this new version of my test case in this test plan?

Any hint welcome.

You can not use a new version on same testplan, because ONLY ONE version can be linked.

If your remove old version you will loose results.

solutions:

1. create new testplan
2. enable editing of executed testcases (use config.inc.php)

Hm... i do not want to make a new version of the testplan, i want to update the changed testcases in the same - unchanged - testplan.

Testplan1
...Testcase 1.0
...Testcase 2.0

Now Testcase 1.0 changes or is corrected, now it is Testcase 1.1.
I can even fetch the information "Show Test Cases newest versions"
I only want to activate these new versions within the Testplan

-->

Testplan1
...Testcase 1.1
...Testcase 2.0

To do this you need to accept to cancel results for older versions.
That's the way it works.

I am sorry and no offense intended, but in my very own opinion, this is ignoring the fact that a testcase must be altered from time to time without changing the testplan. Software changes -> Testcases change -> Testplan changes not necessarily. TestLink really is a master-piece of software, but this is a feature i can not do without.

I've said nothing about offense.
What I said is:
right now TL works this way, and changing it is not easy.
I will try to write a document explaining, why we want to work in this way
