Create a user-defined field for a requirement tracker

When you create a requirement tracker in TeamForge, you can decide if you want it to be associated with a test suite in TestLink or not.

If you want to establish the association between a TeamForge requirement tracker artifact and a TestLink test suite, you must create a user-defined field for that requirement tracker artifact in TeamForge. This user-defined field is specific to test case management.

  1. Click Project Admin in the project navigation bar.
  2. Click Tracker Settings.
  3. Click the requirement tracker to which you want to add the specific user-defined field.
  4. On the Tracker Fields tab, click Add Field.
  5. On the Create Field page, enter "TestSuite" in Field Name.

Important: The value of the user-defined field name must be exactly "TestSuite". Any other variation of this value such as including a space or additional characters will only result in a failure to create an association between the TeamForge requirement tracker artifact and TestLink.

  1. Select Single Select (Specify Field Values) from the Input Type menu. The other Single Select value None is displayed in the Values section.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Enter Create in the Values section.
  4. Click Save Field. The new field TestSuite appears at the bottom of your list of tracker fields.
