3.04 - Associate and remove test cases association with a requirement

In the Requirement consultation page, the unit Test cases verifying this requirement of the Informations tab enables the association of one or more test cases to each requirement. This function is key in order to establish requirement coverage by test cases, which are displayed in Report workspace.

3.4.1 Associate test cases

Prerequisite: A requirement and a test case were created.

1. Select the requirement you want to associate test cases with.

2. In the unit Test cases verifying this requirement, click on [+].

An interface of level 2 is displayed instead of the requirement consultation page. This interface contains the projects on the right (tree structure), and a table on the right:

3. Click on the arrow in front of the project (or double-click on the item) and the related test case(s) will be displayed. Repeat the step if the test case is in a folder or sub-folder. Select the test case(s) to associate. A simple selection or a multiple selection is possible.

4. Click on [>>]. Selected test cases are displayed in the right part table.

OR drag and drop the selected items (test cases or folders) from the tree structure to the association table

5. Click on [Back]. The requirement consultation page is displayed and the association table of the unit Test cases verifying this requirement is refreshed and test case(s) is displayed.

FOCUS

When a test case is yet placed in the right part table, it will not be placed anymore.

A message is notifying you if a test case is yet associated. In the case of a multiple selection, in which a test case is yet associated with the requirement, an alert message is posted, and only the non-associated test case(s) will be added in the right part table.
