First of all, because this is a database (DB) change, it is highly recommended to make a back up of your project database before doing any changes on it.
Please follow these steps in order to change the name of resource type “Testing Activity”:
1. Login into your Site Administration
2. Navigate to your project in the tree
3. Expand its tables
4. Go to ENTITY_SUBTYPES Table
5. In the query box enter the following Query
For Test Type (QUICKTEST_TEST):
— this script will update the type visible in Test Plan
UPDATE ENTITY_SUBTYPES
SET EST_NAME=’QTP_TEST’ — the name you want to set
WHERE EST_ID = ‘QUICKTEST_TEST’ — you can check it in the same table
AND EST_ENTITY_TABLE_NAME = ‘TEST’
— this script will update the type visible in Test Lab
UPDATE ENTITY_SUBTYPES
SET EST_NAME=’QTP_TEST’ — the name you want to set
WHERE EST_ID = ‘QUICKTEST_TEST’ — you can check it in the same table
AND EST_ENTITY_TABLE_NAME = ‘RUN’
For Resource Type:
UPDATE ENTITY_SUBTYPES
SET EST_NAME=’Resource Type Name’ — the name you want to set
WHERE EST_ID = ‘Resource Type ID’ — you can check it in the same table
AND EST_ENTITY_TABLE_NAME = ‘RESOURCE’
6. Close your browser
7. Open your Temp folder (in windows explorer path enter %temp%)
8. Find and delete folder called “TD_80”
