Question

How to assign users to execute test cases in test run

Hello Team,

I have created a Test Set (Testing Cycle) containing 20 test cases and subsequently generated a Test Run (Testing Cycle Run) from this Test Set.

For execution purposes, Customer would like to assign specific test cases within the shared Test Run to different users—for example:

  • Test Cases 1–5 → User 1
  • Test Cases 6–10 → User 2
  • Test Cases 11–15 → User 3
  • Test Cases 16–20 → User 4

Customer would like to use test set as a validation plan where they can plan the test cases an assign to the different users.

Since there is no out-of-the-box functionality in Codebeamer that supports assigning individual test cases within a shared Test Run to different users, Could you please consider this as enhancement request ?

Business Impact :- Currently customer having approx 100 users in Validation team and they are not able to use codebeamer as per above mentioned usecase.

Priority :- High

Hi ​@Prathamesh 

There is a way to do that but the flow might not be great. If a user completes test cases 1-5 in a test run, they can pause the test run. then another user can resume the test run and complete test cases 6-10, and so on. It limits the ability to clearly plan and assign test cases, but it avoids needing to create a single test run for each tester.

Another approach to help with planning would be to create something like this:

1. Test Cases 1–5 → Test Suite 1 → User 1

2. Test Cases 6–10 → Test Suite 2 → User 2

3. Test Cases 11–15 → Test Suite 3 → User 3

4. Test Cases 16–20 → Test Suite 4 → User 4

5. Test Suites 1-5 → Test Suite 6 → Test Run → User 1, pause → User 2, pause → User 3, pause → User 4, finish
