Use Case : The organization has hundreds of builds in multiple projects. If a tester does not mention the build number, it becomes difficult to track on which build the test was executed against after a few days. In such cases, QA Manager has the option to make the build selection mandatory while executing a test case.

Note: Mandatory Build features will be visible only if you have purchased the Customization package.

Make Build selection mandatory during execution: This option is available on the Project create and edit screen (Projects > Project/Release/Cycle.). This will enforce Build selection on the Test Suite Execution Screen. Select the check box to make Build selection mandatory when test cases are being executed on the Execution Screen. The test execution will not be carried out without build selection.

If you have enabled the Make Build selection mandatory during execution option in Projects module, you can see the tip “Build is set as Mandatory during execution” on the Build grid (Projects > Builds).

Tester will see the following message when Build Selection is mandatory in the project and no build is selected on execution screen.
