Part 5: Plans

Plan is a combination of plans created by PM / Leader to test project’s individual plan. A plan includes many Test Executions. In each plan, PM/Test Leader can choose the test case(s) for test release on each test execution.

A Test Plan offers 2 main functions:

  • Executions: Listing all test execution
  • Insight: Counting the number of test cases with status (Pass, Fail, Wait, Bock, N/A, Cut, UnTest) and showing chart (Burndown Chart, Burnup Chart, Stacked Chart)

So, if you want to create a Test Plan, you will need to follow these steps:

I. How to Create a Plan?

1. Create a Plan

Each project can have one or more plans. If you want to create a plan, please follow these steps:

(1). Click on Plans on the left menu

(2). Click on the [Create New Plan] button -> a popup will be displayed.

(3). Input Plan’s information (Name, Start Date, End Date).

  • Showing new Plan information after creating. User can add another Plan by clicking [Add Plan] button.
  • After create Plan successfully, user clicks on a Plan’s name -> the Create Test Execution screen will be displayed. (You can view the Guideline here Create Test Executions).

2. Edit a Plan

For each previously created “Plan”, user can edit the name, start date, end date and icon of that plan by selecting the icon 

II. How to Create Test Executions?

1.  Create Test Executions

Test leader/PM can create test execution for each Plan by these 2 steps:

Step 1: Click on Add New Test Execution button.

Step 2: Input test execution’s information (Title name, Start Date, End Date and Subproject).

+ Title name

+ Start Date, End Date: execution’s date (Start date of plan < or = Start date of test execution < or = End date of test execution)

+ Subproject: user chooses a subproject that PM created previously from the setting screen.

+ Assignment Field: User selects one or more assignment fields that PM created previously from the setting screen. The default value is Device.

+ Test Result Field: User selects one or more created test result fields from the setting screen. The default value is Software Package.

  • The same for Create Plan, user can create one or more test executions.
  • For plan with all test execution completed, you can change the status of the plan by clicking

2. Edit Test Executions

When “Test Execution” is created, clicking on the icon  to edit the name, then click [Expand] button and clicking on the icon  to edit Start Date and End Date.

(If there is no selected test case, you can edit the subproject).

 III. How to Execute Test?

1. Select Test case

Leader can choose a test case from the test case list by following these 5 steps:

Step 1: Click on the Test Execution name area -> show Test Execution detail screen about “Assignment”, “Test Result”, “Insight” tabs.

Step 2: Click [Update Selection] button -> Test case list that was base lined by PM or Test Leader will be showed.

Step 3: Select test cases for test release

  • Select a single test case: Click on the checkbox of each test case
  • Select all test cases: Click on the checkbox on the header column “Test Case ID”.

Step 4: Click [Select] button -> Show all selected test cases on the Test Plan tab.

Note:After creating the test plan for the release, if the user wants to re-select test cases, they can click on [Update selection] button.

2. Assign test case for tester

Before assigning test cases, PM needs to add Tester/ Test Leader and devices for the test.

You can add Tester by referring to Setting “Members & Role” Add Members Roles.

You can add Device by referring to Setting “Environment” Add Test Device.

There are 2 ways to assign a test case to a tester:

  • The 1st way: Assign a test case:

(1) Click the Assign button on the test case.
(2) For reach row, choose a test device and a tester who executes this test case
(3) User can assign one or many test devices and testers by clicking on the Add button (but each device can only be assigned to a single tester).

  • The 2nd way: Assign multiple test cases

(1) Select multiple test cases by checking on the box of each test case ID (or select all test cases by checking on the box from the header column).
(2) Click Multi Assign -> Popup Add Assign Test Case will be displayed (User chooses test devices and testers who execute this test case, the same for assigning a test case).

(3) Leader can assign other users and devices by clicking the [Edit] button => Popup “Edit Assign Test Case” will be displayed.

3. Run Test

When the Test Leader finishes assigning test cases for testers, Testers go to Test Result screen and filter assigned test cases, execute test cases and fill test result. Steps fill test result as below:

Step 1: Tester clicks on the Quick Test/Re-test button under column “Action” -> Open Test Run screen which shows test case information and test results.

Step 2: Select a test result (user chooses from the drop down list with the following options: Pass, Fail, Wait, Block, N/A, Cut.)

Step 3: Select a software version test added by PM. (When the developers release new software version -> PM needs to add a new software package inside the Setting Environment screen. Detail on how to add a new software function here Add Software Package).

Step 4: Tester inserts test evidence images (Inserts from browser or drags and drops).

  • In case the Test result of the test case is Fail: user needs to preform step 5,6,7 below:

Step 5:  Button [Save Result & Log Bug] will be active -> click this button -> User can login from Jira and logs bug for the project (Project PM setting Bug Management Intergration).

Step 6: (If this is the first time) Input username and password -> login to Jira tool.

Step 7: Input the same bug information from the Jira tool then Click [Create] button -> the bug will be logged on Jira tool).

  • Set as Failed

In case Test result of the test case is Fail and user wants to attach an existing bug on Jira to a test case, user needs to preform step 5,6,7,8,9,10 below:

Step 5: User clicks the button [Set as Failed] -> Project’s bug list will be loaded from Jira

Step 6: User logs in to Jira

Step 7: User can filter the bug ID by clicking  icon  from column “Bug ID”.

Step 8: User can filter the statuses by clicking   icon from column “Status”.

Step 9: User can filter the summary by clicking  icon from column “Summary”.

Step 10: User can choose one or more bugs which is related the test case -> click [Set as Failed].

  • In case Test result of the test case is Block: user needs to preform step 5,6,7,8,9,10 below:

Step 5: User clicks the button [Set as blocked] -> Project’s bug list will be loaded from Jira

Step 6: (If the status of the test case is Fail) User logs in to Jira.

Step 7: User can filter the bug ID by clicking  icon from column “Bug ID”.

Step 8: User can filter the statuses by clicking   icon from column “Status”.

Step 9: User can filter the summary by clicking   icon from column “Summary”.

Step 10: User can choose one or more bugs which blocked the test case -> click [Set as block].

·           Edit Test run

Only PM and Test Leader can perform this function

Click icon    corresponding to each test run to perform this function.

4. Insight

After tester fills the test result -> Test result will be displayed on the chart

  • Chart: Count total test run = total test case * test device assigned for tester.

Example: A Test plan for a release have 10 test cases, include:

   + 2 test cases on 2 devices

    + 8 test cases on 1 device

➩  Total test run = (2 test cases * 2 device) + (8 test cases * 1 device) = 12 test run.

  • Insight: User can export the test report by clicking on [Export Report] button. All test case’s result of the test execution will be displayed in the export file.
