Process a Test Order for a Stability Test

Once the setup of the Stability Card is complete, the initial Test Order for the stability tests must be created using the Create Stability Test function. After the test order is created and processed, additional tests are done based on the testing intervals until finished.

Run the Create Stability Test function

  1. The Create Stability Test function can be run from the:
    • Stability Test Card by choosing the Create Stability Test action on the Home menu
    • Tell Me by entering Create Stability Test, and then choosing the related link
    Note

    Define the user(s) who are authorized to run this function in the QA Permissions page (see QA Permissions).

  2. On the Options FastTab, define the time frame and determine whether the process should stop creating/refreshing test orders if an error occurs or not.
  3. On the Stability Test Header FastTab, set a filter on the stability test(s) for which to create test orders.
  4. Choose the OK button to run the function; a confirmation message opens.
Note

This function should be added to the object waiting queue and automatically run daily. Hereby it must be filtered for the current date.

If a Stability Test's starting date is within the stated time frame and no test order exists yet, an initial test order for the stability test is created. The Stability Test Card page is updated with the test order information. The test order number is displayed in the header and lines, and the Scheduled checkbox is selected in the first line, which means that tests have been issued.

Stability testing in the Test Order

The Test Property Set and Test Properties of the assigned Test Plan are copied into the generated Test Order.

On the Test Order, the Status is set to Created and the Stability Test Status is set to On Hold. The Test Destination Type, Test Destination No., and Test Destination Variant Code fields contain the originating data from the stability test and the Test Date field is set to the same date as the Starting Date on the stability test.

The fields on the Test Plan Source FastTab relate to the information entered on the stability test, such as the stability test number and line number reference; item tracking; and creation/modified user and dates.

The Stability Test Status field changes to In Process when the Test Order is released.

After completing the Value Recording process, the Status field:

  • reverts to Created if the Inspection Result field is set to Items are OK.
  • remains as Value Recording if the Inspection Result field is set to Items are not OK, which allows you to cancel the test order and stability test if necessary.

Regardless of the inspection result, the Stability Test Status reverts to On Hold if the Stability Test is designed to have further tests.

The corresponding line on the Stability Test Card will be updated as follows:

  • Tested checkbox is selected
  • Test Result field is set to OK or Not OK

Completing a Test Order for a Stability Test

Choose the Create Stability Test action to create existing Test Orders with further stability tests or generate separate test orders. The lines of the Stability Test are searched based on the Test Date and then the Test Orders are created with the Test Property Sets and Test Properties, based on the respectively assigned Test Plan Version.

If the function finds a Stability Test Order line with the Separate Test Order checkbox selected, a new Test Order is created and then the Scheduled checkbox is selected on all processed lines.

When a Test Order is finished, the test order Status and the Stability Test Status are hereby set to Finished.
