Getting Started with Test Management in Visure: A Guide for New Users

Managing test cases in Visure involves organizing your tests, linking them to requirements, executing them, and tracking results. This guide will walk you through the essentials to help you navigate Visure’s test management features with ease

.

1. Organizing Your Test Cases

What Are Test Suites?
Test Suites in Visure are collections of related test cases that help you organize your testing efforts. You can group test cases by feature, module, or testing phase (e.g., regression or integration testing).

How to Create Test Suites:

1. Navigate to the Test Suites section in Visure.
2. Create a new Test Suite and name it (e.g., "Login Tests").
3. Add test cases to the suite and define attributes like:
   • Priority
   • Status (e.g., New, Approved)
   • Expected results

Best Practices for Beginners:

• Start with a simple structure: one suite per feature or module.
• Use clear, descriptive names for your test cases.

2. Linking Test Cases to Requirements

Why Link Test Cases to Requirements?
Linking test cases to requirements ensures traceability, helping you confirm that all project requirements are validated through testing.

Steps to Link Requirements to Test Cases: Before linking, ensure you have set up a relationship between the Requirements Document and the Test Suite in the Data Model. Here’s how to do it:

Create the Relationship in the Data Model:

• Go to the Data Model Configuration section in Visure.
• Define a relationship between the Requirements Document and the Test Suite (e.g., “Verified by").
• Save and apply the updated Data Model to your project.

Link Requirements to the Test Suite:

• Open the Test Suite where you want to create links.
• Select the Start Link option.
• Navigate to the Requirements Document, select the requirement you want to link, and click End Link.

Repeat for All Requirements:

• Ensure every requirement is linked to at least one test case to maintain full traceability.

3. Creating and Using Test Plans

What Is a Test Plan?
A Test Plan defines the scope and structure of your testing efforts. It automatically creates test executions for all the test cases in the selected suites.

How to Create a Test Plan:

1. Navigate to the Test Plans section in Visure.
2. Create a new Test Plan and select the Test Suites you want to include.
3. Save the plan, and Visure will automatically create test executions.

4. Executing Test Cases

How to Execute Tests:

1. Open the relevant Test Plan or Test Suite.
2. Begin executing test cases by marking their status (e.g., Pass, Fail, Blocked).
3. Add observations or comments to document results.

Tracking Results:
Visure automatically traces execution results back to their linked requirements, providing clear visibility into testing progress.

Pro Tip for Beginners:
Prioritize critical test cases early in the project to uncover potential risks.

5. Using Traceability to Ensure Coverage

What Is the Traceability Matrix?
The Traceability Matrix visually displays links between requirements, test cases, and defects. It helps you verify full coverage and identify gaps.

How to Use the Traceability Matrix:

1. Open the Traceability Matrix in Visure.
2. Review existing links to confirm that all requirements are validated.
3. Add missing links or update relationships as needed.
