Administering Releases
The release administration form is accessible via the main menu. Select Admin->Releases. This menu item may be disabled for users that do not have administrative permissions.
Releases Overview
At least one release is required in order to create test plans, suites and cases. Speed Test comes with one release by default, Library, which cannot be removed.
Adding a release
To add release, click the plus sign next to the list of releases. Enter a description, set a date for expiration and check the Active checkbox. When finished, click the save button at the bottom of the form. The description can be any text that concisely describes the release. (e.g. 2010.1.1) The expiration date determines the date at which the release will no longer be the default release for reports. The 'Active' checkbox determines whether the release will appear in the list of releases in both the reporting and desktop applications.
Deleting a release
To delete a release, click the minus sign next to the list of releases. The selected release and associated test plans, suites, cases, attachments and results for the release will be permanently deleted. This action cannot be undone and reports for this release will no longer be available, so use care.
Deactivating a release
As an alternative to deleting a release, a release may be deactivated. Select the release in the list of releases, click the edit icon and uncheck the 'Active' checkbox for the selected release. This will prevent it from appearing in the list of releases on both the desktop and reporting applications. All information contained in the release will still be available for later reactivation.
Editing a release
To edit a release, select the release in the list and click the edit icon at the bottom of the form. All fields, including the description may be edited.
Permissions
Only users with the proper permissions may administer releases. Depending on the assigned role, one or more of the icons may be disabled.
