Track test plans from packages

Track and manage test plans directly from your package.

If your project is working with test plans, you can link them to your packages to track their progress. This helps you track and manage a specific set of test plans within each package.

To save time you can access a test plan directly from the package and make updates or complete activities as required.

Test plan visibility in packages

If you send a package with linked test plans to another organization, but you haven't shared your test plans with them, they may see a message that some or all test plans are not visible to them (see example in the image below).

To resolve this you'll need to share your test plans with the organization. Once shared, they will be able to see the test plans in the package.
