General test management configuration

Before using test management, you must configure the following:

• For Deployment Center, select Test and Verification Management under MBSE a la Carte on the Applications tab.

• For Teamcenter Environment Manager (TEM), select the Verification and Validation Planning and Reporting server and client extensions under Systems Driven Product Development. This selection also automatically installs the Attribute and Parameter Base Definitions and Measurable Attributes and Targets extensions.

  Note: Measurable Attributes and Targets is also required if you install Systems Modeler.

• Set the required test statuses on the PLE_EnabledDefnStatusList preference.

• Set the PLE_Display_AnalysisRequestPlanTable preference to turn the plan table on or off. The default is off.

• Define deep copy rules used when revising tests in the Ctr0ValidationContract template.

• Create a workflow that applies an approved status to a completed attribute definition.

• Configure attribute-copy behavior with:

  • PLE_AnalysisRequest_CopyAttribute - If false, no copy is made automatically, and a copy is made only when the user edits an input or output. If true, the system copies all attributes (inputs and outputs). The true option is slower when creating the test, but more efficient when users are editing parameter values in test objects. Default: true.
  • PLE_AnalysisRequest_CopyAttribute_Options - If set to Input, the system automatically copies input attributes but not outputs. If set to Output, it copies output attributes but not inputs. Default is blank, which enables copying of both inputs and outputs.

• Enable or disable editing of the domain bookmark to remove associated components. When users define a test, they may release it by submitting it to the appropriate workflow. By default, once a request is released, you can no longer make changes to the contents of the test. However, you can remove trace links associated with the request (effectively removing the associated components), and you can edit the domain bookmark to add or remove components.

• Configure a preference so the Viewer panel replaces the Preview panel (referenced as "...G preference" in source, truncated).

• Configure the PLE_Plan_Table_Allowed_Child_Types preference with the list of object types that show the Test Results tab (for example, PSConnection, Interfaces, Requirement Revision, IAV0TestCaseRevision, and Fnd0SEBlockRevision). If appropriate, add Requirement Spec to the list of types.

• Configure the PLE_AddObjectsNotAllowedTypes preference, which defines the list of types that cannot be included in tests. You can add Teamcenter business objects to this preference to allow users to include those objects in tests.
