Update test case from defect
Hello Team,
We have several defect work items which need to be updated to test case. Assume that defects are in fixed by one developer and closed by one tester (Tester-1)
- Now test lead would like to assign this defect to another tester (Tester-2) to review and update test case with scenario mentioned inside defect. (I would not prefer creating another work item to relate with this defect. This work item is assigned to Tester-2)
- Whenever Tester-2 completes this, he changes status to something like "Test Case is updated" or anything relevant. Also he fills in test case name which contains his update
- Then test lead reviews output of Tester-2, changes status to Test Case fix is ready for test" or whatever
With this we can use query to see if necessary defects are updated to test case and where is progress of that updating task by looking at proper user-defined fields/columns such as: Review status, updated test case,...
I thought of linking of RQM and CCM, change state of TC inside RQM but look it does not give a single "all-in-one" view to understand if progress of updating TC for one defect. Also Approval tab in each defect work item seems to be just cover simple information like approved/Rejected, not what we need in details such as updated TC name
I plan to create one tab called "SW Test" in template of defect work item template, contains above information so we tester/test lead can work on this. For example
One impact i can imagine is that email notification about SW Test stuff may come to Developer Subscriber
Do have any advices or other experience on this?

Well, you can log events using comments and reassignments within a state are fine. It looks like you might need an augmented work flow for defects. The built in assumption is that a work item is implemented by a single individual though it may be verified by another. The expected mechanism is that the defect will have child work items for the various kinds of rework needed; i.e. code, documentation, test cases, requirements, etc.

Thanks Paul, i finally go with simpler approach:
In CCM, have one more tab-called SW Test
Then i create a separate work item to track assignment of specific Updater who may work on one/a list of defects
