Using the Test Configurations tab in the Test Plan module, you can now design tests that run according to different use-cases, each with different sets of data. Each use-case is called atest configuration. Values for the test configurations are supplied from within your ALM project or from an external data resource.
Test Configurations Overview
You can run tests for different use-cases of the application you are testing. Each use-case of a test is represented by a test configuration. Atest configuration is a set of definitions that describe a specific use-case of a test. You can associate different sets of data for each test configuration. Working with test configurations enables you to run the same test under different scenarios.
When creating a test, by default, a single test configuration is created by HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). This test configuration is created with the same name as the test. Using the Test Configurations tab of the Test Plan module, you can create as many additional test configurations as needed.
You associate a test configuration with data defined in the Parameters tab of the Test Plan module. You can associate different data with each test configuration.
When creating coverage, instead of covering each requirement only at the level of the test, you can link a requirement to a test configuration. Associating test configurations with requirements provides finer granularity for requirements coverage by enabling coverage by different use-cases of a test.
After creating coverage, you define a test set in the Test Lab module. A test set can include any or all of the test configurations defined for a test, or it can include test configurations based on requirement coverage. When you run a test set, the parameter values are retrieved from the data resource according to the settings defined for each test configuration.
