Editing a Dependency

Note: To edit an existing dependency, you must select the master execution plan, which is the definition for which a specific condition will trigger the execution of the dependent execution plan. You cannot edit dependency settings from the dependent execution plan.

To edit a previously configured dependency:

In the menu, click Execution Planning > Details View.
In the Execution Plans tree, select the execution plan that you want to edit.
Click the Dependencies tab.
In the Dependent Execution Plans section, click in the Actions column of the dependent execution plan. The Edit Dependency dialog box opens.
From the Condition list, select the condition that is to trigger the dependent execution plan.
- Any
- Passed
- Failed
- Not Executed
The Any status means that the dependent test execution will trigger no matter what the status of the previous test execution is.
Specify where the dependent execution plan is to be deployed.
