Test Suite Execution Options
When executing a test suite, one of the check boxes before you go to the execution console is "Update test suite steps to include a valid script if one is needed." I cannot find this check box referenced anywhere in the Help or on jazz.net. What does it do? I've checked it and see no effect.

Hi, Dolores
I think the option is coming from the fix of the below defect
https://jazz.net/jazz02/web/projects/Rational%20Quality%20Manager#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=142364
You can find the background explanation from the work item.
To make it simple, here is the example.
1. you have a test suite and add a test case
2. in the test case section, open the testcase and then add an existing test script
3. now going back to test suite > test case section, you would see the messages (a part of the above work item fix)
The following number of test cases have associated test scripts, but do not have a default test script assigned: 1
To assign a default test script, go to the Test Script column for a test case and click the Edit icon.
If you manually edit the test script column to add the default test script to test case, then everything is fine.
if you ignore the messages or don't know the messages there at all, and run the test suite, you will see the test script is empty. Off course you may manually select the script at this moment to run it. You can also set "Update test suite steps to include a valid script if one is needed." here so that the script will be set automatically.
Hopefully this helps.
