While designing the test plan tree, you accidentally delete a folder that contained some tests that you need. How can they be recovered?
-
Once a test is deleted, it is gone
-
The tests can be recovered from the Subject folder
-
The test can be recovered from the Unattached folder
-
Only Project Managers have permission to recover deleted tests
In HP Quality Center (now ALM), deleting a folder in the test plan tree does not permanently delete the tests themselves. Instead, they are moved to the Unattached folder, allowing them to be recovered from there. Subject is the root of the test plan tree, and once deleted, tests are not gone immediately, nor is this action restricted only to project managers.
To answer this question, you need to understand how test plans are organized in a test management tool.
Option A) Once a test is deleted, it is gone - This option is incorrect because most test management tools have a feature to recover deleted tests.
Option B) The tests can be recovered from the Subject folder - This option is incorrect because the Subject folder typically contains the main categories or sections of the test plan, and not the individual tests themselves.
Option C) The test can be recovered from the Unattached folder - This option is correct because the Unattached folder is where deleted tests are typically moved to, allowing users to recover them if needed.
Option D) Only Project Managers have permission to recover deleted tests - This option is incorrect because depending on the test management tool's permissions settings, any user with the appropriate permissions can recover deleted tests.
The correct answer is C) The test can be recovered from the Unattached folder. This option is correct because the Unattached folder is where deleted tests are typically moved to, allowing users to recover them if needed.
