Introduction

QMetry makes it easy for you to keep all the team members in the loop and stay on top of test assets you care about by allowing you to watch a particular test asset and get updates relating to it. When a user watches a test asset, they get a more complete set of notifications during the entire life cycle of the asset. The purpose is to allow users to stay updated with the progress of test assets of their interest. The Creator and Owner of the test asset will be automatically added to the watcher list so that they are aware of the updates.

The functionality is available for the following test assets:

• Requirement
• Test Case
• Test Suite
• Issue (Internal Issues only)

Why would you want to watch a test asset?

For critical test assets in your project, you’ll always want to stay on top of all of the updates the team gives on the test assets. Watching helps you stay connected to that asset from the point of authoring all the way to it - events/updates/versions/executions. Keep in mind that watching can generate a lot of email traffic though, so be specific in the issues you choose to watch.
