Configuring a Test Version

In CodeArts TestPlan, test cases are managed and evaluated by product baseline, branch version, and test plan. The service support efficient collaboration between teams, management and cross-version reuse of hundreds of millions of test assets, and concurrent R&D and delivery of multiple versions of complex products.

  • Version: A version records the test data of a software version, including information about managing and executing test cases and suites, as well as quality reports.
  • Relationship between version and test plan: A version contains multiple test plans (and one test case library).
  • Baseline: A baseline is a special version that has been formally reviewed and is the basis for subsequent test activities. Cases in a baseline are generally stable and are test assets accumulated for a long time.
  • Hierarchical management of test cases: Test cases can be managed by layer, that is, by product baseline library, version branch, and test plan. Test cases can be merged from a version to the baseline and imported from the baseline to a version, and case merging conflicts between versions can be managed. This meets the requirements of concurrent tests of multiple versions and collaborative tests by multiple persons, enabling test asset accumulation and reuse.
