I'm looking for a feature in RQM similar to what we see in ClearQuest
BEF Suites. We sometimes have a number of test cases in a test suite
where each case has different assigned testers or the suite itself
needs to "flow" to another suite as a "handoff"
from one business area to the next. I'm able to structure cases and
TERs to run in sequence, but I'm lacking a "trigger"
mechanism that notifies the next tester that it is now their turn to
execute cases that are scheduled in the suite. Hope this makes sense.
Does anyone have an idea on how we can create a sequential flow of
test cases that actually cues the tester to begin the next manual
test? Thanks in advance for your help --Jason

Currently there's no way to notify a tester when it's his/her turn to
start execution of a particular test case within a suite. In fact, test
suites don't allow you to assign ownership of the cases within the
suite. You can create test case execution records (TCER) before running
the suite and assign those to owners and the suite will pickup these
TCER as long as the planning info in the TCER matches the planning info
in the suite. But if the planning info (such as plan, milestone or
environment) changes, the suite will create new TCERs as the suite
doesn't actually contain any TCER. It just uses one if it already exist
and planning info match. The point being is that the suite doesn't
establish any ownership for the steps within the suite and assuming this
because you created the TCERs ahead of time is error prone. There is an
enhancement request for suites to truely support such ownership. Feel
free to add a comment to the existing request:
