Tree structure for all the data model
The problem
The main quality that a Test management software must have is "organization". Unfortunately, most of the commercial products I know offer partial or even complete fat repositories for the datas.- this makes the cleanup and reorganization of the data extremely difficult
- the customer must often use tricks to filter or sort items he manages
- identification of some items of the same type or belonging to one functional group is very hard or even impossible
The fix
The best way to structure and organize data is trees. After drawing up this report, it is clear that all the data model implied in any complex database (such as a test management framework) should preferably store all the data using this practical way.In XStudio, ALL datas are classified by the user in trees. Not only the main entities (such as requirements, specifications, tests, campaigns or defects) but also the filters, or the tesplans are represented as trees. This gives an incredible flexibility to all the management tasks.
