Batch Operations Support
You can now multiselect and modify multiple test objects
simultaneously.
Validation and Verification Strategy now supports multiselection and batch lifecycle operations so you can quickly
modify multiple test objects simultaneously. In addition, the app now eases the
restrictions on linked test scripts and test cases. You can now link unreleased test
scripts to test cases.
Multiselection lets you promote or demote the maturity state of test specifications,
test cases, test executions, and test results. You can also revise multiselected test
specifications and test cases. In the following figure, you have multiselected
FS Test Case 01 and FS Test Case 02.
The Revise action displays the New
Revision dialog box, which allows you to change the revision of all
multiselected objects at the same time:
Another improvement allows you to access test assets directly from 3DSearch. From the search results, there is an Open with option to
open the test object in the applicable app.
In addition, Validation and Verification Strategy now displays higher revision information in the test specification tree, and creates objects ready to go in the “In Work” state.
Benefits: You can now perform recurrent reviews and validation with a minimum of actions
while managing a high volume of objects.

Test Strategy Navigation
You can now navigate and manage multiple levels of test management objects
connected to test artifacts, such as projects, test requirements, and test
scripts.
These enhancements allow you to:
- View and modify the relationships between nested test management objects in
greater detail from the multilevel tree, as shown in the following figure:
In previous releases, you could visualize only two levels of
nested test specifications.
- Use 6WTags
to filter the test specification type that displays in the
Review pane.
In previous releases, you could filter only
on test cases.
- Create dependencies without linking to test specifications at any level.
You can
now create dependencies by dragging the test specifications or test cases to the
Prerequisites or Dependents fields
of the Dependencies tab, as shown in the following
figure:
- View the relationships of dependencies and prerequisites linked to test
specifications and test cases. The Relations Explorer displays the selected test
management object and all linked test management objects in an interactive panel, as
shown in the following figure:
In addition, there is now a Test Management Relations
profile added to the Relations Explorer. You can select this profile in
Customize Relations to view relations relevant only to
test management objects.
Benefits: Navigational improvements and enhancements to the Relations Explorer provide a
graphical overview of your test management objects that helps you assess the complete
testing protocol at a glance.
