Sequence in Test Package

Former Member — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 14:51:23 GMT

Hi,

I have a sequence in a test package test1, test2, test3 say. The status and status value in the tester worklist is working i.e if you try execute test3 before test2 get message 'previous test case not yet finished'.

However, the 'ready to test' tick has decided to have it's own sequence of test1, test3, test2 so when test1 is marked as 'test ended' it moves to test3 looking like test3 is next to test when it's not!!

any ideas?

thanks

Thanks,

Hi,

You can change stettings of the status profile for whether 'test end' is set by a status or not.

But that doesn't solve your problem.

Please, check your layout for your worklist where you need certain settings special for sequenced test packages.

To make your problem visible, please change the layout and select the column for sequence number. And then activate 'sequence number' as a sort criteria in your new layout. Then your problem should be solved.

Good luck!

Adelbert

thanks for the reply but not totally sure what you mean.

If I go into the test package in my tester worklist > change layout > sort order.

Under sort criteria I have 'Sequence id' and 'Number Sequence' selected already.

Do I need to change something here?

Thank you.

Hi,

Your worklist seems to be ok: the test cases are displayed in the order you need: test1, test2, test3 according to the sequence numbers 1, 2, 3.

But the 'ready to test' does not mark test2 as the next test case to be ready for test after the test1 has received the status 'test ended'.

One reason for this is: You have assigned the test cases test1 and test3 to the user TESTER1 and the test case test2 to the user TESTER2. Then TESTER2 sees in his worklist that test2 is marked to be ready for test. TESTER1 can see his next test case assigned to him to be ready for test. Is that describing your problem?

Therefore I have removed the confusing 'ready to test' information and have provided the 'test end' information instead for default settings of the layer for the worklist.

Best regards,

Adelbert

one of my package

is incleded several steps. i assigned a sequence ID to these steps from 1 to 8, despite sequence 1 is the only step that is ready to test, i can start testing from sequence 2 without any warning and error. i want to what else i should do after assigning sequence to these steps to work properly which means not allowing to start from higher sequences while sequence 1 is not ended?
