Why does a TCER/TSER only incorporate the Test Environment into the name and not the Iteration and/or Test Plan?
I'm using RQM 4.0.4 and wondering why a TCER/TSER only takes into account the Test Environment when creating the TCER/TSER name. One example of why I bring this up is we have a Test Plan for our acceptance testing and we plan to run the same TSER over a period of several iterations/flights. When an iteration/flight ends I add the new iteration/flight to the Test Schedule. Screenshot:
This makes it hard to distinguish the TSERs as they have the same name. If I go to schedule this suite in the scheduler all I can go off of is the ID, which slows me down having to compare 6 digit numbers:
There is no option to have a column display for iteration. Is there a way to have the TCER/TSER also include the iteration? If not, this seems like an area RQM can improve upon.

Hi, Machael
I tested with v5.0 and I do see the option to add iteration to TCER/TSER's name to make it unique when creating TCER from testcase section or TSER from test suite section in a test plan.
I am not sure if v4.0.4 has this option or not, I do remember that I saw it somewhere in v4.0.x but not sure it is after v4.0.4 or not, you may want to have a check if the option is there when creating a new TCER/TSER.

One other answer
The option that Don mentioned is available on 4.0.6, not sure about 4.0.4
But I think the better question is "why can't we define the TCERs/TSERs naming standard as a project property, choosing which elements should be a part of it?". You'd want your TCERs/TSERs to be consistently named (based on Test Plan types, or on Iterations in same cases).
