Interface to test management

While the test management manages test cases (and requirements) on a conceptual level, the test framework allows running required tests. Nevertheless, it is sometimes desirable to start test runs from test management and import test results and progress information.

The way of solving this problem depends on the test management system. The ODABA TestBrowser supports starting test runs by configuring the test frame work and generating framework specific information for the test suites to be executed. The connection between test cases and test suites may be provided by test suite identifiers referenced in the test case or by any other algorithm deriving a test suite identifier from the test case definition. Thus, test management and test execution is loosely coupled and allows in a simple way connecting TestBrowser to different kind of test frameworks.
