Viewing Releases and Cycles

You can view the status of your releases and cycles. ALM shows a high-level overview of the progress of the currently selected release or cycle. It also shows the number of defects opened over the course of the currently selected release or cycle. You can also view the number of outstanding defects.

In this exercise you will learn how to display the progress and graphs of a selected release and cycle.

To view releases and cycles:

1. Make sure the Releases module is displayed.

   On the ALM sidebar, under Management, select Releases.

2. Display the Progress graph for the Service Pack 1 release.

   In the releases tree, select the Service Pack 1 release, located in the Service Packs release folder. In the right pane, click the Status tab. The Progress tab is displayed by default.

   

   The Progress tab displays the progress of the release based on requirement coverage, elapsed and remaining time, and actual and remaining test instances to run. As you have not yet created requirements or tests, the information in the Coverage Progress graph indicates 0% progress.

3. Display the Progress graph for a cycle.

   In the releases tree, select the Cycle 1 - New Features cycle, located in the Service Pack 1 release.

   In the right pane, click the Progress tab. You can see that the information available is similar to that available for the release, but at the cycle level. As in the case of the release, you have not yet created requirements and tests, therefore the information in the Coverage Progress graph indicates 0% progress.
