Test Settings: Test Questions

Modified on Wed, 19 Jan 2022 at 11:19 AM

Introduction

Test Sign-Offs are web-based forms that allow ManagementStudio administrators to collect test information about applications.  Users are able to easily contribute additional information without requiring a ManagementStudio logon:

 There are two areas of configuration that work in conjunction to govern the look and feel of Test Sign-Offs:

  • Test Questions: Define headings, question text, input types, and input options to be used in the Test Type.
  • Question Layout: Controls the appearance of the Test Questions.  For example, visibility, position, size, mandatory question, and tooltip.  Further information is available at:

This document discusses the Test Questions tab of a Test Type.  Although the example within reference the Application module, Test Types are supported in Users, Devices, Applications, Mailboxes, Deployment Units, Bespoke, and Defects.
