RRDI sample report: Execution Trend
Does this report support multiple test plans/milestones?
I can select two test plans and one milestone (common name for both) and the planned attempt/complete is plotted but only for 1 of the test plans. Is this a defect or is something else going on here? rns |

Hello. Well spotted. You should only be allowed to select one Test Plan
just like the Birt report. I filed: "56817: RRDI: Execution Trend Report allows selecting multiple test plans and does not handle milestones with same names correctly". Best regards, Peter Haumer. |
Hello. Well spotted. You should only be allowed to select one Test Plan Hello Peter, Thanks for creating the defect (https://jazz.net/jazz02/web/projects/Rational%20Insight#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=56817). I'll be following the progress. What is critical for my needs is to actually support multiple test plans with the same milestone (names, dates). We have 9 distributed teams all working on the same product/milestone but each with a unique approach to the testing. We have a need for the S-curve report for each team (this works today) The second request would be for one test plan and multiple milestones. This would show the "big picture" of progress for the release for a particular team/test plan. Finally, multiple test plans with multiple milestones. This gives the "whole release" view of "all test teams". These reports have been requested by our sponsoring executive. We'd rather not use the .xls approach. ;) I'll add this to the defect. Robert PS. I loved your video on installing CLM. It helped tremdously. :D |
Hi, Can I add a query to this. For the out of the box reports;
We have 1 Test Plan, and multiple Milestones (Schedules). Each Milestone needs a separate S-curve to be generated. When we do this, the planned data on the S-Curves get merged. So we end up with 'Milestone A' data and 'Milestone B' data merged into each others S-Curves, even though I have set the correct details to just include 1 Milestone in the report edit. This is not the desired outcome. Just like to see if anyone knows how to create more than 1 S-Curve for a release (representing the various iterations of a Release), that has only 1 test plan. Seems simple, but it might be something we are doing/not doing. Currently we are generating S-Curves through Excel. |

Hello.
I am probably misunderstand your request, but the milestone is a parameter of the report. So, if you want one s-curve per milestone run the report for each milestone. When you select multiple milestones it still uses the dates over which you distributed your points in the plan editor (each day can have its own points allocation and I assume that your milestones do not overlap each other), so I am not sure what you mean by merged.

Thanks for the response Peter. We ended up restructuring our test plans. So now we have a separate Test Plan per iteration/sprint. Which means we now only have 1 test schedule/milestone per test plan, which will remove the possibility of S-Curve data for 1 Schedule merging with another Schedule in a test plan (I hope :) )
What I mean by merged data, is the Planned dates for one schedule is also showing up on another schedule's S-Curve. We have double checked all data. This does not happen, of course, when we have only 1 Test Schedule per Test Plan. |
