Picklist Entries

There are already picklist entries for defect, requirements, test scenario etc have been added. So we recommend to not change any field values from the existing one. But as an administrator you may also add or modify the fields values in the setup page as per your organization process. This will be automatically reflected  in the analysis view.

Warning:
There are some conditions as below.
1. Enhancement needed field should not be changed, since it is associated with the enhancement validation
2.New and In Progress field should not be changed, since these are associatied with the open defect metrics.

Defect Tracking

If an application flaw is detected while running a test scenario, you can submit a defect. TTP automatically creates a link between the test run, associated release and cycle, and the new defect. A defect can be submitted to a TTP project from any module at any stage of the application management process. While reviewing and deciding which new defects need to be fixed, the defects can be assigned to the appropriate release and cycle.Following test runs, you can review the test progress to determine how well it meets the release goals. You can also determine how many defects were resolved, and how many still remain open. The results can be analyzed at a release or at a cycle level. You can track the progress of the application management process in real time by analyzing the releases Analysis and ensuring that it matches the release
goals.

Requirements Overview

After defining releases and cycles, you define and review requirements and assign them to releases and cycles. Requirements describe in detail your application needs, and are used as a basis for creating a test plan. The tests you create during the test plan phase should cover these requirements.After assigning requirements to releases and cycles, you create test groups and assign them to cycles. A test group is a group of test instances in TTP project designed to achieve specific test goals. After assigning test groups
to a cycle, you run the test scenarios under these test groups..

Releases and Cycles Overview

The issuing of application releases is often challenging. It requires aligning your business priorities and quality expectations with your project requirements, tests, and defects. Most applications require testing on multiple hardware platforms, multiple configurations (computers, operating systems, and browsers), and multiple application versions. Managing all aspects of an application release can be time-consuming and difficult. You begin the application testing management process by defining releases. TTP enables you to organize and track your upcoming releases by defining releases and cycles. A release represents a group of changes in one or more applications that will be available for distribution at the same time. Each release can contain a number of cycles. A cycle is a set of development and quality assurance efforts performed to achieve a common goal based on the release timeline. Both releases and cycles have defined start and end dates.

Adding a User to a Project You add new users to a Test Tracker Professional project. To add a user to a project: 1 In the Project Detail page, click the Project Users button. The Project Users page opens.

Project Security

As an Test Tracker Professional project administrator, you use Project Customization to control access to a project by defining the users who can access the project Note: Users belonging to the Viewers group cannot view or change any settings in the Project Customization window if they dont have permission in the profile level, except settings on the User information page. If a user assigned as a project user, he/she can view the project related entities based on their profile permissions given. Ex:- If an user who has the ttp_resource profile has been added as a project user, he/she can only work on the defects but they can neither edit or delete the projects. Screens:
