Description jkubasta CLA 2007-08-31 08:52:55 EDT
In the test navigator select a test suite for which you want to create a deployment. 
File > New > Other
New wizard opens.  
 Expand Test, Test Element folder, select Deployment, Next
New Deployment dialog opens. 
  Select the parent folder, give a file name, click Next
RESULTS: 
Doc incorrectly shows old screen of New Deploiyment dialog box where you have a name field  and description field

Updated Wizard now displays
New Deployment, Description (no name field). 

Next gives the  "define the artifacts" panel.  (same as in prior wizard)
Select ADD (to add artifact)
Select to Create a new resource Next
Select parent folder and give a name to the artifact, Next
RESULTS: 
Doc  incorrectly shows old screen of New Artifact dialog where you have a name field and a description field
Updated Wizard now displays 
New Arifact description, (no name field) , Next
New Artifact panel appears, select test asset to associate with artifact,  Finish
New Deployment panel is displayed

If you select to Use an existing resource you can select a local deployment. 

It would be helpful if this were noted in the documentation. 

In the heading for this section, it says:
You can create a test deployment that specifies only a location: it does not specify test artifacts....
In this case you do not need to create a test artifact for the test suite.  You select the test suite and the location-only deployment.    

It would be nice if this were clarified.  The documentation should indicate where you would select the location-only deployment.

The screen captures mentioned in this defect has since been removed from the documentation.  The deployment documentation will be updated based on the other suggestions.
Comment 2 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2007-11-05 13:23:13 EST
Required by a consuming product.  Included in the 4.5 plan.
Comment 3 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2007-11-07 06:33:08 EST
Bulk update of the target field to reflect the change in iteration numbers.
Comment 4 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2008-01-07 09:07:56 EST
Deferring to I6.
Comment 5 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2008-04-18 12:03:22 EDT
Hours worked to create/test the patch.

After a closer inspection of the documentation for deployments, there were sufficiently dated and confusing to merit a complete rewrite.
