Testbook
The Testbook is a dashboard panel that gives you real-time updates about all activities that take place during manual testing. It shows you who did what and when in the different testing cycles and execution plans. The Testbook simplifies the coordination and collaboration among testers and test managers.
You can filter the entries by user, action, and testing cycle. The panel shows the activities of just one project. To configure
a project for the panel, click
(Configure) in the header of the panel. To view activities in other projects, you can add more panels. For more information on panels,
see
Dashboard.
For each entry the user name is displayed and (if available) the full name. For organizations that do not use meaningful user names, the full name of a user is better recognizable for the other users within a team.
On the
Manual Testing window, you can post a message to the
Testbook by clicking

Entries older than 60 days are deleted automatically. To change this default setting, open the file Conf\AppServer\TMAppserverHomeConf.xml and edit the following setting: <MaximumActivityLogLifeTimeInDays>60</MaximumActivityLogLifeTimeInDays>
