What's the purpose of the Master/Child Test Plan structure in RQM?
![]()
From a logical perspective I understand why we would have Master/Child Test Plans.
However, from a tools perspective RQM doesn't support the logical notiion (or not as I'd expect anyway).
After defining 1 Master with 3 Children I expected:
1. Progress from the Children (as displayed in the Test Plan Progress bars) to roll up to the Master - didn't happen
2. Artifacts referenced in the Children (Requirements Collections Covered, Test Cases, Test Case Execution Records, etc) to be shown at the Master - didn't happen
3. Definitions from the Master (schedule, environments) to be distributed to the Children - didn't happen
Are my expectations all wrong? Is my system not working as expected (v4.0.6)? Or, more broadly, if it's working as designed, what's the true value in setting the Master/Child structure in RQM?

Hi Taly,
I was not aware of any enhancement about it. I have created one now: Improve master and children test plans user experience (121661). You can either follow the resolution in it or create a new enhancement if it does not fit your requests. Also feel free to add any comment in the enhancement. regards, Napoles |
