Custom Fields for Requirements / Test Cases / Test Steps

The system has

  • Global Custom Fields
  • Project Specific Custom Fields

The Global Custom Field configuration mechanism is same as explained here RMsis Application Configuration.

At Project Level, the creation and deletion of custom fields works exactly as in the Global Configuration but the following rules apply:

  • All Global Custom Fields are available for the Project, but the Manager / Administrator can Enable / Disable these fields for the project.
  • Project Specific Custom Fields can be created.
  • When a new Global Field is created, it is disabled by default in existing projects.
  • When a new Project is created,
    • all the Global Custom Fields become visible in the project.
    • all the fields in enabled state are enabled in the project.

Status Computation Rules for Requirements

RMsis provides an option to automatically compute the status of requirements, based on the statuses of Test Cases linked with the requirement.

The rules can be specified as a set in the following format

  • IF 
    • STATUS OF Any TC | All TC
    • EQUALS Pass | Fail | Pass with Exception | Blocked | ???
  • THEN
    • SET STATUS of REQUIREMENT to
      • OPEN | CLOSED | COMPLETED | ???
  • Note : The system currently does not check for ambiguous set of rules.

Status Computation Rules for test cases

RMsis provides an option to automatically compute the status of a Test Case in a Test Run, based on the statuses of it's Test Steps.

  • IF
    • STATUS OF Any TS | All TS
    • EQUALS Pass | Fail | Pass with Exception | Blocked | ???
  • THEN

      • Pass | Fail | Pass with Exception | Blocked | ???

Manager can associate users with roles in a project. Following operations can be performed by Manager:
