Test Suite - Horizontal Layout

A Test Case element is created, which acts as a container for the created Test Suite diagram and Test Case elements.

The basic path and each alternate and exception path is represented by a Test Case element. Each step in the basic, alternate and exception paths is represented by a Test element.

A diagram is created under the container Test Case element, to which the Test Case and Test elements are added.

The elements are displayed on the diagram in a matrix format, with the basic path and its steps forming the first column followed by the alternate and exception paths as subsequent columns.

Note that the name of each created Test Case and Test element is truncated to 25 characters.

Test Suite - Vertical Layout

A Test Case element is created, which acts as a container for the created diagram and Test Suite elements.

The basic path and each alternate and exception path is represented using a Test Case element. Each step in the basic, alternate and exception paths is represented by a Test element.

A diagram is created under the container Test Case element, to which the Test Case and Test elements are added.

The elements are displayed on the diagram in a single column with the basic path and its steps at the top followed by each alternate and/or exception path and its steps.

Internal Test Case

A test is generated for the basic path and each alternate and exception path in the scenario, and added to the selected element.

In addition, for each step in the basic, alternate and exception paths that has a value in the 'Results' column, a test is generated and added to the selected element.

A diagram is created under the selected element, to which that element and a Note (showing the element's scenario specification) is added.

The created tests are displayed in the Test Scripts compartment of the selected element on the diagram. Another way to view these tests is to click on the element and display the Test Cases window.

These generated tests are written to the Scenario Class Type of the Test Cases window; you can change the tests to another test-type if required.

External Test Case

A Test Case element is created, linked to the selected element using the Trace connector.

A diagram is created under this Test Case element, to which the selected element, the Test Case element and a Note (showing the element's scenario specification) is added.

The created tests are displayed in the Test Scripts compartment of the Test Case element on the diagram.

A test case is generated and added to the Test Case element for the basic path, and for each alternate and exception path.

In addition, for each step in the basic, alternate and exception paths that has a value in the 'Results' column, a test is generated and added to the Test Case element.

You can review the tests within the Test Case element using the Test Cases window, as for Internal Test Cases.
