testcases mapped to testplan not getting listed sequentially under tree view
Hi,
We have come across an issue where in we imported a total of 59 testcases into RQM using excel importer utility.
Going to Construction > View Test Cases --- we could see all the testcases imported.

- Having mapped those 59 testcases to a testplan and selecting tree view, could see testcases appearing as randomly (eg: TC05,TC19,TC09,TC07 etc)
- Choosing the Tabular view and selecting the Test-Case section we can sort either in ascending / descending order.
Note: One more strange thing we noticed is if we upload less than 50 testcases and getting them mapped to a testplan lists all the testcases sequence in tree view (TC01,TC02,TC03 ...). If we upload more than 50 under tree view it changes to random numbers automatically.
Let me know if anyone has come across such a issue or any suggestions.One answer
It's a matter of threading. Beyond a certain quantity (50 in this case), the importer starts distributing it's workload. Each testcase is assigned a sequential internal id - which is used for the default display orders - as it enters the system. As the importing becomes distributed the names and assigned internal ids will no longer map in the same order.
