how to re-use the Tests (acceptance) for regression test on version one?

[cobra]

Hi all:

I'm an existing v1 user, but new to the disussion group.

Here is my problem:

For each sprint, we add one or more tests to the work items for
acceptance test and keep truck of the tests pass / failed, it is works
well at sprint level.

At end of each sprint after the new workitems are accepted, we will
need to run a regression test on all existing functionalities. Now,
how can I easily organize the regression test by re-using existing
tests that I have entered from previous sprints, eg. return a list
(page) of the existing tests from all sprints (including closed
items), so I can select what to includes to the regression, who will
run the test, whether it is passed for the regression, etc.

Or should i look elso where for the solution since this is more like a
test-plan management feature.

Thanks in advance for your feedback,
Cobra

There are a couple options here.

One involves aggregating the test cases into a "master" Regression Suite story, which can be copied and reused every sprint. To follow this process, create a story in your backlog called Regression Suite. At the end of each sprint, make a copy of each regression test and change the parent Story of the copy to be the Regression Suite story. Then copy the Regression Suite story itself, which will grow over time, into the release and/or sprint where you plan to run the suite.

If you do not want to aggregate the stories as above, you can easily get a list of all acceptance tests (closed tests also, but checking the show closed items checkbox) by using the Test Quick List report in the Reporting area (under Testing Reports).

People, I was testing the use of "Custom List Types" and now I can´t remove the item I´ve created.
How can I delete my test from the system configuration? There´s no option to remove List Type added to the system.

Thanks!

Another question, how can I set custom fields in a Program?
I´d like to customize our programs with particular information related to them.
Thanks!

Currently there is no way to remove the List Type. If it is not being used by any of your drop downs in the system, it will just sit there, not affecting anyone.

Programs do not currently have custom fields, but I will make sure the product team gets your request. We have heard this before J

Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback Baggie! But how could I create the Regression
Suite Story and aggregate the test cases to the suite? Could you
explain in detail steps?

Hi-
I will be posting a knowledge base article on how to do this tomorrow, with screen shots, and will send the link out when it's up.
Thanks.

I haven't gotten the kb article posted yet, but so as not to keep people waiting, here are the more detailed steps for aggregating existing tests into a master regression suite:

 

Assuming a project structure such as:

 

Product

  * Release 1

 

Adding Tests to the Suite

1. Add a new backlog item in the Product project, called "Master Regression Suite".
2. If you know of regression tests that need to be added right away, add the Test assets to this backlog item.
3. Each time you add a new Test asset to a backlog item, make a copy of it (the copy will appear right next to the original, under the same story) by using the copy action (available in any in the actions menu for each item).
4. Edit the copied Test.
5. There will be a field (3rd down) called "Parent Workitem" with a little magnifying glass. Click on the magnifying glass.
6. In the popup window, click the Filters action and choose "Find", type "Master Regression Suite" and click go or enter.
7. Your master suite BI will be found, click the Select link next to it at the far right in the grid.
8. Your copied test is now part of the Regression Suite.

 

Using the Suite

1. Using the copy action, make a copy of the Master Regression Suite BI (this will copy all the Tests underneath also).
2. Edit the BI. Change the project to be the Release you want it in and the Sprint to be the sprint you will execute it in.
