assign multiple testplans to one build

Post by ThomasPeter »

Hi,

I'm just starting to use TestLink and was wondering if it is possible to map the approach we used until now to TestLink processes.

I will begin with a brief description of our environment and processes:
We have one application supporting multiple features.
When we release a new build the whole application is released.
So in the past we had a separate testplan for each feature - so the testplans were collections of testcases used to test one feature.

So far I mapped this to TestLink like this:
application->TestLink Project
testplan->TestLink testplan
release->TestLink build

From what I saw it seems that it is not possible to map several TestLink testplans to the same TestLink build (which would correpond to: "on this release we have to test feature A, B and C").
To use the mapping mentioned above I would have to create a separate build for each testplan - which is no feasible solution (since we have a lot of testplans).

So the question is what is the proposed way to use TestLink to our release/test process?
The next best thing I could come up with was:
application->TestLink Project
testplan->TestCase keywords
release->TestLink build+testplan

Thanks in advance for your help.
