Attributes and values have no connection to a test plan until you assign them to one or more tests using an assignment statement. To add an assignment statement, you can do one of the following:
An assignment statement consists of the attribute name, a colon, and a valid attribute value, in this format:
attribute-name: attribute value
For example, the assignment statement that associates the Searching value of the Module attribute to a given test would look like:
Module: Searching
Attributes of type Set are represented in this format:
attribute-name: attribute value; attribute value; attribute value; ...
Whether you type an assignment statement yourself or have the Testplan Detail dialog box enter it for you, the position of the statement in the plan is important.
| To have an assignment statement apply to | Place it directly after the |
