Cannot execute tests against multiple builds at once

[Jezz08]

This may just be 'user error' and the feature is not available but I do not seem to be able to execute tests against multiple builds.

I can only execute a given test case against the most recently associated build. (associated via the containing test plan)

I was wondered if anyone here had any idea how to execute a test against more than one build without going throught the, create build, execute test plan, create build execute test plan, create build etc...

I would like to be able to use the methodology of
Create build 1 execute part A of test plan against build 1
Create build 2 execute part B of test plan against build 2
Execute part B of test plan against build 1
Create build 3 execute part B of test plan against build 3
Execute part A of test plan against build 2

Doees anyone have any ideas please?

1. TL 1.7 brings user assignment to particular TCs. So you can assign part A at the first and reassign for build 2.
2. You can use keywords to divide TCs to groups within one Test Plan. Filter TCs in execute pages then. Is it a solution?

[Jezz08]

This is almost a solution.

What about in the case where you have only one user who wishes to execute TCs against builds in a non-linear manner? (use of multiple user accounts not withstanding).

Of what in the case where a user has executed TCs against a build but not provided sufficient details about failures/blocking conditions etc... If a new build is created then they cannot go back and edit their comments on the old build.

I would like to understand better:

the problem is you can't run againts old builds ?

if the answer is yes => then the solution is change the parameter
in config.inc.php, that blocks execution of old builds.

Please let me know.

Aha! I did not know there was such a parameter.

I'll hunt through the code, change it and see if the system then responds in the way I desire.

Thank you very much indeed.#
