About Global Goals
Global team goals are goals that may span across multiple Test Configurations. For instance, a global goal might be:
- Test execution failures from any project should be fixed each day.
- Certain projects must have all static analysis tasks related to a given policy completed by a certain date.
To configure global goals, you need at least one C/C++test installation with a Server license. Global goals will be applied across the team if all team Parasoft installations are connected to Team Server as described in Connecting to Team Server. Users without a Server license can review goals, but not configure them.
When global goals are enabled, the Test Configuration manager’s Goals tab will be disabled.
Configuring Global Goals
To configure global goals:
- Choose Parasoft> Preferences> Quality tasks> Goals.
- Enable the Enable global management option.
- Click New.
- Configure the new goal that is added to the table. You can configure global goal options such as:
- The project(s) that the goal applies to.
- The deadline for achieving the goal.
- What the goal requires.
Importing Tasks for Specified Goals
When importing tasks from Team Server, team members can choose to import only the tasks related to a specified goal:
- Choose Parasoft> Import> Team Server... .
- Enable the Filtered option.
- Enable the for goals option and choose the goal for which you want to import tasks.
- Click OK.
