Link Objects

Linking objects is a great way to show test coverage for test cases, requirements, Test Runs, and defects from qTest Manager. Below is an example on how to link you test session to a requirement.

Link Requirements dialog will be shown for you to browse or search for requirements that are associated with the current project.

The system will show a dialog for you to confirm the action, select OK to unlink the selected requirements.
