In this section you will discover Tuleap's Test Management service.


What is Tuleap's Test Management service?

The Test Management service is a service that is used to perform validation campaigns to test your project or software, and ensure that it meets the test case you had previously defined.

Test Plan is an extension of the Tuleap Test Management plugin. It will link Backlog to Test Management and therefore associate your tests with your requirements or your user stories.

With Tuleap Test Management (TTM) and Test Plan, you can manage all your automated and manual tests in one place.
Test and requirements management can therefore be done jointly throughout the project.

When to use the Tuleap test tool?

  • To set up a testing strategy that brings together automated tests and/or manual tests.

  • To track the coverage of each requirement by testing.

  • To create as many test campaigns as you need, especially in case of bugs before a release.

  • To facilitate compliance audits through full traceability and a rigorous software quality assurance policy .

How to manage your tests?

  1. Create a test case

The test case is the subject of your test.

When you create it, you can assign to it:

  • A title ("Summary")

  • A description ("Description")

  • Steps definition: you describe the steps to complete the test and the expected result(s) at the end of each step.

  • A category

  • Links with artifacts ("artifact Links")

  • Attachments

  1. Create a test campaign

A campaign can be created from several "batches" of tests:

  • No tests : The campaign will not have any tests

  • All Tests : All existing test cases in the "Test Cases" Tracker will be added to the campaign

  • Test definition tracker reports : Only tests that match the criteria in the report will be added to the campaign.

Practical information

The report corresponds to the reports of the "Test Cases" tracker

  1. Run a test campaign

Once your test cases have been defined and your campaign has been created, it is time to move on to the key step: the execution.
This step allows you to track the results of each test step by step, document successes and failures, and get a clear view of the quality of your project before release.
