testing: Management of TFS test plan regarding a new iteration

jeudi 15 février 2018

In TFS Test Hub, I have a reference test plan in which some hundred of test cases are ordered and sorted in a hierarchy of folders:

- FrontOffice

 -- UserManagement

      --- TestCase 1234

      --- TestCase 5678

- BackOffice

  -- etc.

When a new iteration has to be tested, I have two choices:

1- Add existing test cases in a new Test Plan, which is good, but make me lose the folder Hierarchy

2- Clone the reference test plan, which preserves the folders, but makes clones of the test cases

In this last case, the link with the requirement is second order: Requirement --TestedBy -> ReferenceTestCase --Cloned-> ThisIterationTestCase

Option #1 is good for reporting, but tedious for execution

Option #2 is good for execution, but makes it impossible to query test results bounded to a requirement

Do you guys have any advice regarding this situation?
