Interface Basics

The figure below shows the Validation and Verification Strategy main work area:

Review Pane

The Review pane displays a hierarchy of the test specifications, test cases, test executions, and test results in your test specification.

The app displays a multilevel view of linked test artifacts. For example, you can expand nodes to expose test cases within test specifications, and you can expand linked test specifications within parent test specifications.

Requirements Pane

The Requirements pane displays a list of requirements and the linked test cases in your test specification. You can display the requirements pane in matrix or table form.

Details Pane

The Details pane displays the maturity lifecycle and information on the selected test data management object. For example, you can review which requirements specification is linked to the test specification.

Dependencies Pane

The Dependencies pane displays the prerequisite and dependency information for test cases and test specifications.

Note: You can also use the Relations Explorer to view a graphical representation of the prerequisites and dependencies of a test management object. The Relations Explorer also displays other links graphically, such as "Contained by" or "Executed by." For more information, see Accessing the Relations Explorer.

Properties Pane

The Properties pane displays properties related to the selected test data management object. The list of properties is more extensive than that displayed in the Details pane. For example, the Properties pane also includes the modification date and organization.

Maturity Lifecycle

The maturity lifecycle displays the current maturity state and allows you to promote or demote the state accordingly.

Toolbar

The toolbar contains tools to create, link, copy, revise, delete, open, explore relations, or show details for a test management object. In addition, you can open in-app help from the toolbar. The in-app help opens to the topic pertaining to the selected test management object.
