How to show actual test cell or lab resources used for an execution?
I understand Test Environments are "what you plan to test on" while Lab Resources/Test Cells represent the actual environment available for testing.
When creating an execution record we assign a test environment to that (ie. tests executions for this record must use lab resources that match the environment selected). So far so good.
However, I don't see a way to display in the Test Execution Result which lab resource or test cell was ACTUALLY used to performed the test.
Real Life.
Test Environment: iPhone 5S with iOS7
Lab Resources: iPhone 5S 16GB with iiSO7.1.2, iPhone 5S 32GB with iOS7.1.1 How can we tell which iPhone was used in each execution? |
One answer
Unfortunately, lab management resources are not displayed in the Test Execution Result table view. However, the Test Environment is an available column, which is viewable/sortable/filterable in the Test Execution Result table view
Have you considered using channels (see https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.rational.test.lm.doc/topics/c_channels_overview.html), which are viewable/sortable/filterable in the Test Execution Result table view? Comments Hi Paul.
Thanks for your response.
I did. From what I understood of channels, though, it's also something that's assigned to the TCER at the time of creation, not something the Tester inputs along with results.
Also, I couldn't really see the point of channels, so, for this release at least, I didn't enable them.
What we did for now was to add a custom attribute to Results so the tester needs to input the device info that was actually used for testing.
