The Grade©® Planner helps you write basic system test plans. A basic template is provided, and you may add or remove sections from that template, depending on your requirements. The template is structured as a tree or table of contents. It also allows you to manage access to a testsuite's groups and subgroups, within the system test plan. Each group of testcases can be assigned to a different developer, by restricting access to them, according to users's login and group id.
The Grade©® Planner can also be used to write requirement documents. Each section in the requirements document is expected to have an associated keyword. It is these keywords that you must use when making a reference to a requirement in the test scripts that you will develop later. These same keywords are subsequently traced and logged to the default tracking database using functions of the tsert-tracker when the testsuite is run with the Grade©® Engine.
