Concurrent access on a Test Case

Pierre · Post by **Pierre** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 8:48 am

Hello,

I noticed that concurrent access on a test case is possible. I mean, it's possible to edit a test case at the same time for two different users.

Question: is it possible to prevent a test case from being edited simultaneously by two users.

I already opened a question about the protection in Test Link, which is for me one of the main drawback of the tool.

(Anyway Test Link is fine).

Best regards
Pierre

think this a common problem (IMHO) in a lot of application.
One solution is to BLOCK/LOCK editing or other operations when one
user takes control of an object.
This posses problems like deadlock.

I would appreciate contribution i.e. real life solutions

regards

Yeeh, we discussed the topic a few years ago. We decided that this is neglectable risk meantime.
Anyway, I expect that we will solve it later.
