Flow
1. The first step after you log into the system is to create a test project. The system allows editing and deleting a project. If you don’s see your test project when you login to the system, make sure you have appropriate project user role assigned.
2. After you already have a project in Testlink, you need to create a test plan. The system offers editing, erasing and deactivating of test plans and test plan versioning. The test plan can be created from already existing test plan in the project. An option for assigning test scenarios for execution from different users is offered.
All test scenarios included in the test plan can be saved in MS Word or HTML format.
3. After you have created the test plan and the scenarios, the next thing is to create builds (equivalent as version of your development builds). Once your build is created you are ready to execute all test cases assigned to the current test plan.
