Automatic mapping of Test Cases to Business requirement


anoop mc (74811200221) | asked May 03 '12, 12:25 a.m.
Hi,

In RQM we have seen that using a keyword XLSLink we can link TestCases and TestScripts.

We have yet another request for automatically mapping the test cases to Business requirement at the time of importing Test Cases.

Scenario:

Can Individual testcase in Excel file include Business Requirements in a particular column,and while importing testcases can we associate requirements with testcases ?

Note: Similarly we saw that for establishing an association between TestPlan requirements is not currently supported.

Hi @amavila,
if you are using the ExcelImporter 4.0, you can refer to the sample "TestPlan with TestCases 001 linked to requirement 001" to link test artifact with requirement.

The latest version of RQMExcelImporter is RQM-Extras-RQMExcelWordImporter-3.0.1.3 I don`t think 4.0 is released yet.

I was referring to the same sample config file and could see that only requirements got imported into RQM and didn`t got linked to either Test Case or Test Plan.

I am copying the lines which refers to Requirements in the config.No where I see any links that is getting created.


requirement.XLSStartRow=2
requirement.XLSArtifactID=A
requirement.dc:title=B
requirement.dc:description=C
requirement.jzalm:owner=D
requirement.dc:creator=D
requirement.XLSWorksheetID="Sheet1"

you can use testcase.requirement=Link(A)
to link testcase with requirement in different worksheet.
you can refer to the Link() key word in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMExcelWordImporter

ExcelImporter 4.0 RC2 can be downloaded from jazz.net.

@amavila,
yes in the technote there's a tool TestCaseUpdater to linked the requirement testcase and testscript that has the same external id.
I think it's for RQM 2.0 server
as mentioned
"Note: This utility is tested with Rational Quality Manager 2.0.0.1 and applicable iFix releases only"

you can use testcase.requirement=Link(A)
to link testcase with requirement in different worksheet.
you can refer to the Link() key word in https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMExcelWordImporter

ExcelImporter 4.0 RC2 can be downloaded from jazz.net.
