Revising Test Specifications

You can revise test specifications to create newer versions of the specifications for testing. Revising a test specification retains:

  • All test cases, test executions, and test results linked to the original test specification.
  • All prerequisite dependencies of the original test specification.
  • All links to engineering items, requirement specifications, chapters, and projects.
Note: Revising a test specification does not automatically revise or copy the test cases, test executions, or test results.

Before you begin: The test specification must be in the In Work, Frozen, or Release maturity state.
