Assigning resources to tests
Before assigning a resource to a test, you can view its availability and skills.
Viewing resource availability
To view resources available with necessary skills for a test:
1. Open the properties of the test plan concerned.
2. Select the Assign Resources page.
By default, the report presents tests of the test plan over the year. You can display those of a particular period.
3. In the table at top left, select a test.
4. In the table at top right, select a resource of which you wish to display availability.
You can select several resources.
5. In the lower frame, click the Refresh button.
Two charts present:
• Skills required by the test and skills of the selected resource.
• Availability of the resource on test dates.
The color of the test period depends on the number of resources assigned to it related to the estimated number of resources:
• Green if the test has a sufficient number of resources
• Yellow if resources are insufficient
• Red if no resources are assigned
These two charts should be refreshed separately.
