Table of Contents
This section describes the plan section of Klaros-Testmanagement. The plan section is used to define and maintain jobs, generate jobs from test cases and test suites, and to track the workload and progress of users in the selected project.
Feature only available in Klaros-Testmanagement Enterprise Edition
This section is used to define and maintain jobs. Jobs may consist of the execution of test cases or test suites or any other possible task. Jobs can be nested and assigned to individual users. The executions and results of jobs are automatically tracked by Klaros-Testmanagement.
Jobs can be created, removed, updated and nested on this page ( Figure 7.1). The displayed Jobs may be filtered and sorted as described in Section 5.2.6, “Filtering and Sorting”.
The Maintain Jobs page shows all of the jobs defined for the current project. Clicking on the table fields allows direct editing of the attributes.
The leftmost column allows jobs to be selected and bulk actions to be carried out. The uppermost checkbox is a global select button, which allows bulk actions to be carried out for all jobs that match the current search criteria.
The Action column contains buttons for carrying out actions on
individual jobs. The
icon opens the Job Details Page
for the corresponding job (described in
Section 7.1.5, “Job Details”).
The
icon duplicates the corresponding job, optionally including its sub-jobs. The
delete icon removes the corresponding job. The
icon executes the
corresponding job (described in
Section 7.1.4, “Executing a Job”).
The
icon imports test results if the job references an automated test case.
Jobs may be viewed on a printer-friendly page as described in Section 5.2.7, “Print Pages”.
Some bulk actions are available on the Maintain Jobs page. Bulk actions are described in Section 5.2.11, “Bulk Actions”.
The bulk actions available on this page are: Edit, Delete, Duplicate, Assign to Parent and, if viewing sub-jobs, Move to new Position and Move up one Level. The bulk action buttons can be found above the table on the left.
Clicking the button creates a new job in the selected project ( Figure 7.1). The job ID is automatically assigned by Klaros-Testmanagement. The Summary, Priority, Due Date and Assignee fields can be specified here. The new job must be persisted by clicking the Save button.
Jobs can be arranged using the arrow icons in the Arrange column.
The
icon opens a dialog which allows the user to move the job to
a new position, and the
and
icons change the job
hierarchy. Using the
icon will put the job in the same hierarchy level
as its parent job. Using the
opens a dialog which allows the user to
choose a new parent job from the job's siblings.
Parent Jobs have specific features:
To subordinate a job, create a job of type Task
that does not have a test case or test suite.
Then, select a job that should be subordinated by clicking the
icon (this job can have a test case or test suite).
Here you can choose witch job should be the parent, then click .
Next to the job ID the number of subordinate jobs in this parent is shown.
The success- and progress rate shown on the parent job is derived from the contained jobs.
![[Warning]](images/warning.png) |
Warning |
|---|---|
|
Jobs which have a test case or test suite assigned to them may not have sub-jobs, and so will not be available as possible parent jobs in the New Parent Dialog. |
Clicking the
icon executes the job. A user in the role tester is only
able to execute or jobs which are assigned to him.
If the job is associated with a test case, the Run Single Test Case dialog will be opened. A detailed description of how to run a test case can be found in Section 8.2, “Run Test Case”.
If the job is associated with a test suite, the Run Test Suite dialog will be opened. A detailed description of how to run a test suite can be found in Section 8.3, “Run Test Suite”.

Note |
|---|---|

If the job is associated with an automated test case, or the test suite contains only automated test cases, Klaros-Testmanagement will display the page to import test results. More information about importing results can be found in Section 8.6, “Import Test Results”. |

This graph displays the accumulated test case results of the latest test runs for this job in descending order.
Executon Time
This graph shows the minimum, average and maximum execution times for this job.
Latest Test Runs
This table shows the latest completed test runs for this job.

By default, this table shows only five entries. Pressing the Show all button opens up the results tab in which all test runs are listed. |
This section allows in-depth editing of a single job. the executed test results and change history for the Job are also shown in this section. ( Figure 7.4). The Job Properties page allows the user to change the following attributes:
Name
The name or summary of the Job
Description

It is possible to assign a test case or test suite to a job, but only if the job does

same time.
Clicking the

This section also contains a Test Runs tab and a Results tab as described in Section 5.2.17, “Related Test Runs and Results”.
User defined properties can be used to customize jobs within Klaros-Testmanagement by adding custom fields. This process is described in Section 5.2.13, “User Defined Properties”.
Since Klaros-Testmanagement 4.5 it is possible to configure jobs as prerequisites for other jobs. Each job can have any number of required jobs, each with one or more dependency criteria that all need to be fulfilled before the dependent job can be executed. On the Dependencies tab there is an overview of all required and dependent jobs of the currently selected job.
Dependency Criteria
|
Progress |
The minimum progress rate of the required job (0-100%). |
|
Success |
The minimum success rate of the required job (0-100%). |
|
Latest Result |
The latest result of the required job ( Passed, Skipped, Failed or Error). Multiple values can be selected. |
|
Status |
The current status of the required job ( New, Reopened, In Progress, Resolved, Closed or Rejected). Multiple values can be selected. |
If a job cannot be executed because the dependency criteria of its required jobs are not fulfilled,
the
icon is displayed instead of the execute icon.
If the dependency criteria of a job is not fulfilled, the job gets marked with the
icon.
Attachments may be added to jobs. This process is described in Section 5.2.12, “Attachments”.
The result tab is further divided into a Test Runs, Test Case Results and a Test Suite Results tab showing the test results related to this job as described in Section 5.2.17, “Related Test Runs and Results”.
This tab allows a user to add comments by clicking on the button.
The text entered in this dialog will be saved as a comment on the job
once the button is clicked and saved.
To modify the comment, use the
icon, to remove it, click the
icon.
Every executed test run related to this job is logged in the Work log tab. It is also possible to add your own work logs to the job. When clicking the button a dialog is shown where all the information can be set.
The duration field must contain a number greater than zero in order for the work unit
to be logged. Then click and then
, to save your logged work.
To modify a work log entry, use the
