<strong>White</strong> <strong>Paper</strong> <strong>pure</strong>::variants Connector for ClearQuest<br />

- Test Test Test execution: execution: execution: running configured test cases or test suites, and committing the results<br />

to the database<br />

- Test Test reporting: reporting: user-defined charts, queries, and reports<br />

These stages are sequential. Typically, a Test Lead sets up the necessary items in the planning<br />

phase. A Tester writes test scripts in the Authoring phase and then runs tests to gather<br />

test results in the Execution phase. Throughout all three phases, ClearQuest reporting can be<br />

used to monitor progress.<br />

Test Plans in Rational ClearQuest are a kind of folders where related test cases can be defined.<br />

Through the allocation of further characteristics such as test iteration, configuration and<br />

a test script (manual or automated) the test cases becomes executable units: configured test<br />

cases.<br />

Single configured test cases or test suites are executed using the selected testing tools and<br />

the test results are logged in Rational ClearQuest. Defects and deviations can then be handed<br />

over directly into defect tracking.<br />

The following diagram shows the corresponding workflow:<br />
