662694 - a user should be able to create a child object from a list in the Manage pane

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: MozTrap, enhancement)

Description

[Cameron Dawson [:camd]]

When viewing the list of test cycles in the Manage pane, there should be a button or link next to each cycle in draft mode that is a shortcut to creating a testrun for that cycle.  Clicking that should populate the Test Cycle field in the create test run page.

This should be true for test suites and test cases as well.

This is super-easy on my end; I think the main work here is for eric, finding or making the right icon for the link.

That's easy.  I think the icon should be a blinking rocket-ship-smiley-face-monkey-fist-hatching-egg or something along those lines.

sounds like you have it covered. I'll be sitting on the porch with a mimosa if you need anything. might I recommend off-mauve as a color choice?

Ok, activated the link here for add-run-in-cycle. Doing add-suite-in-run or add-case-in-suite is quite a bit more complicated and may not actually be a good idea (or even possible, for the latter). A suite has to be activated before it can be included in a run, and a case has to be both approved and activated before it can be included in a suite, and the approving user can't be the user who created it. Even if we can resolve the platform issues here, we'd need to add UI to the add-suite in add-case forms for immediate inclusion in a run/suite, which we currently don't have.

I'm going to call this story finished and propose we accept it for its initial description (add run in cycle), and revisit the question of whether the others are doable or desirable at a later date.

The "add child" icon looks perfect to me.  Nice work, Eric.  You're the "Geniusest of them all"

Carl: Agreed.  I think adding the ability to create a new suite from a testrun is not a good flow, for the reasons you stated.  However, creating test cases from a suite seems like something we should explore.  Creating a new story now.
