Managing Test Case Versions.

[vouser]

I have a test project PR1 in which I created a test suite SU1 and inside SU1 a test case CS1 with title TL1.
So far the picture:

PR1
--SU1
----CS1 (TestLink assigned a version 1)

Then inside PR1 I created test plan PL1 and added CS1 to PL1.

PR1
--PL1
----CS1

Next, I assigned PL1-TC1 to myself to execute the test.

Nothing can be executed until you have a Build, so I create a build BL1 inside PL1.

PR1
--PL1
----BL1

I click on "Execute Tests" link, then I click on PR1-PL1-SU1-CS1 andexecute it.

If I click on "Test reports and Metrics" and then on "Test Report", I see the
following:

````````````````````````````````````````
Test Project: PR1
Test Plan: PL1

Test Suite name Test title BL1
SU1 TL1 Passed.
``````````````````````````````````````````

Now, I need to make changes to CS1.
I go to PR1, SU1, CS1 and discover that [Edit] button is missing - that's becouse the CS1 was executed.

So, I click on [Create a new version] button, and [Edit] button shows up.
I make needed changes to CS1, save it and TestLink assigns a version 2 to it.

Next, I go to PR1, PL1 and click on "Show Test Cases newest versions" link.

I get a page with this:

Test-Case Linked-version Newest-available-active-version
--------- -------------- -------------------------------
CS1 1 2

And now, here's the question:
What do I do that during the execution of my next build BL2 the Version 2 of my CS1 is available.

I could remove CS1 from PL1 and try to add it again as V2, that works.

But after that if you look at test result, it will look like this:

`````````````````````````````````````````
Test Project: PR1
Test Plan: PL1

Test Suite name Test title BL1
SU1 TL1 Not Run
``````````````````````````````````````````

"Not Run" replaces "Passed" and that's not good.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Correction:

Line:

Next, I assigned PL1-TC1 to myself to execute the test.

Should be:

Next, I assigned PL1-CS1 to myself to execute the test.

This is weakness of TL 1.7 behavior. TL 1.7 brings versions of TCs, but some dependencies are not ideal. It behaves like you describe
We have fixed it in TL 1.8. Thanks you for understanding.

Hello havlatm.

Thanks a lot for your response.
I still like this product very much and I take my hat off before you and your team members as a great appreciation for spending your time and energy to develop it.
I hope the world somehow will pay you back.
