Question on reusing test cases across multiple releases
Hi,
I have the following scenario:
I have 1000 test cases, each test case has a test script. This covers testing for "Release 1" of my product.
When "Release 2" comes along I reuse the same 1000 test cases, but some features have changed so I add second test scripts to a subset of test cases.
I know in the TCER's I can specify the "Default Test Script".
Question:
Other than opening each TCER individually and setting the default test script for each TCER one by one. What would be the workflow so a tester could generate TCERs from a Plan, and set the correct test script to use depending on the release they are testing?
For example, I could add a Category to the test scripts to identify which release the script is for. But how would the user set the correct test script on thousands of TCERs?
Thanks,
Mike
One answer
@mike - keeping one test script per test case is straight forward (since you have 1000s). one way to do it is to duplicate the test cases for release 2 and add the appropriate test script as the default..
