Once created either manually or automatically. Test Plans such as standard
repetitive regression tests used on a regular schedule can be copied to create the
plan for another relase or cycle.
When Test Case selection is complete for End to End (E2E) Manual Test Scenarios,
Test Sequences tab is selected to assign order which the test steps will be
executed by selected testers with know-how in each functional area. During test
execution notifications are sent upon a completion of a step to the next tester.

From the Test Plan Test Packages tab, multiple Test Packages are assigned for each
Test Plan. Examples of packages are: 1) by E2E manual scenarios 2) Automated E2E
scenarios for off hours test runs and 3) by functional work stream. Tester
assignments are made at this for sequences and packages to complete the Test Plan
setup activities.

The entry point for Test Suite Test Execution in Solution Manager is Tester
Worklist. From here a manual or automated tests are launched for execution.
