RQM v4.0.2 How to determine RQM usages?
We have a few hundred RQM users/testers.
We have many products and many of them do not have relations to each other. We have one release per month, and for each release we have 16000 test cases, only 2000 of them can be reused. Currently we are building one project area to accommodate all of the users, products, and test cases. We now have a challenge to decide what to do with those hundreds and thousands artifacts that are no longer used but still there to confuse the users unless every time they are filtered out. What is your suggestion to make life easier? |

Hi Li,
I believe there is no straightforward answer to your question as it raises even more questions than answers to me...Questions coming to my mind are: can you explain why you get so many test cases generated, how they are generated (copied vs. authored), etc., etc. ? Have you checked your current understanding of Test environments and Test Execution Record with - for example - the descriptions made in the InfoCenter (or this resource for the interest of TERs: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/dchadwick/entry/why_does_rqm_link_test_assets_to_a_test_plan8?lang=en ) ? Have you investigated/implemented keywords and parametrization (through datapools, exec. variables, etc.) ? If you feel comfortable with the previous aspects, what are your constraints in terms of maintaining results records - auditability, deleting data not relevant anymore, test artefact retirement/clean up policy, etc, etc. ?
