Targetprocess 3.3.1: Programs improvements, Release and Iteration capacity, QA area improvements

People capacity for Release/Iteration/TeamIteration

Sometimes it is handy to know person's allocation when you plan Iteration, Team Iteration or Release. Now you can do that. Create a Board, select Person as a lane and specify filter like:

?Iteration is 'Iteration 4.5'

or

?TeamIteration is Current

In this case you will see User Stories and Bugs from a single Iteration. Find allocation information near every person:

Similarly, you can specify filters for Release like

?Release is 'Beta 3'

or

?Release is Current

Note that People Capacity work for Hours effort units only.

QA Area Improvements

Drag and drop Test Cases on a Test Plans boards
You can quickly reassign Test Case from one Test Plan to another using drag'n'drop on a Board View. Just create a board with Test Plan as a lane and Test Case as a card and you you'll be able to move Test Case Cards from one Test Plan Lane to another. To copy a Test Case drag the selected card from the clipboard.

Test Case Run result bases on its Steps results
Now Test Case Run result will be set automatically from results of Test Step Runs according to following simple rules:

• If Test Case Run has at least one failed step — result is set to Failed
• If all steps in Test Case Run are marked as passed — result is set to Passed

However, you can manually change the result if you need.

Not completed Test Case Runs are updated if Test Case Steps were changed
Sometimes it is necessary to make changes to Test Cases that already have Test Case Runs. You should note that if you add or remove Test Steps it will affect only not executed Test Cases (Skipped and Not Run), 'Passed'  and  'Failed 'Test Case Runs will remain the same. Also changes are not applied to Test Case Runs that belong to Test Plans in final state.

Programs in v.3

More improvements were made in Programs functionality with this release. First of all, now you can create Boards, Lists and Timelines with Programs as cards. It helps manage portfolios of projects and programs.

Program creation is simplified. Open top Project/Team selection and find the New program link. Note that a Project can belong to exactly one Program.

Show Assigned Users Names, not avatars

We added three more units for M-L-XL card sizes:

• User's initials, like T.B.
• User's first name initials and full last name, like T. Bear
• User's full name, like Teddy Bear

It may be handy if you don't like avatars or if the avatars are hard to recognize.

All these options support inline edit as well as avatars do.

Left menu: changes made by other users show up instantly

You will see immediately if new public/shared Group or View is added, deleted, renamed or re-grouped in a different way. It will help to setup Left menu structure that is common for the whole company.

Enhancements

• POP Email Plugin: add users from CC: field as Requesters. This helps to keep all email participants notified about Requests.

• 'Set up States' button added to a view Actions menu and 'State' lane settings
