Create Test Session
Role
• Test Engineer
Purpose
• The Test Session identifies the set of tests (fully detailed test cases) that need to be executed.
Action
• Item > Create > Test Session or File > New > Item > Test Session.
Adding Test Cases
• You cannot author meaningful test cases in a Test Group. You can only copy test cases from test suites into test groups.
• On the Test Session there is a field called Test As Of Date that is automatically set when you move the session to the state of InTesting. This ensures that the session from that point on includes the test cases asof that date, which ensures that any changes to a test case don't accidentally sneak into the in progress testing and also ensures that you can navigate from a test result back to a specific version of a test.
