How to handle staging in testcases?

[ergo]

Hi,

we have complex test scenarios which needs to be checked and released by a formal process.

Currently we have three stages for testcases:

- tc in creation
- tc to be released
- released tc

We handle this by subtrees within the test project but this conflicts with the reporting which is based on root entries in the tree(graphic report).

Are there other experiences or suggestions to handle this topic?

you can try using the active/inactive attribute on test case version
you can also use keywords, to manage this 'workflow status'
On 2.0 a test case 'workflow' status will be available.
