Since the sample plans themselves are not editable, you can make a copy of the plan to explore and edit. Experimenting by making changes to the plans is a good way to learn.
Plan Details
Some of the samples contain useful explanations of features and interesting aspects about the specific Sample Model you’ve opened, such as the screenshot shown above. The “Test your understanding” section may help you learn important test design principles and develop better insight to test design strategies.

Enterprise Designer is a different kind of tool with different features compared to other software testing tools that you might be familiar with, so don’t panic if features don’t look familiar. It’s normal to be a little confused at first. We’ve designed a series of certifications and support articles to help you increase your test design skills, understand features, and – most importantly – become a more knowledgeable and powerful software tester.

Pay attention to what makes sets of Enterprise Designer tests different Enterprise Designer will not only help you create tests much faster, but it will also help you create much better tests than test scenarios you would be able to select by hand. They will be more varied, less repetitive, and leave significantly fewer gaps in coverage. Enterprise Designer Difference #1: Generating optimized test sets with Enterprise Designer takes only seconds When you click "Scenarios", count how many seconds it takes you to generate a new set of tests once you have identified an appropriate set of model elements. Faster test scenario selection is the most obvious benefit that Enterprise Designer delivers to testers. Having said that, most experienced users value other benefits more. For example, the benefit of much more thorough testing coverage that comes from optimized test sets. Enterprise Designer Difference # 2: Enterprise Designer tests always automatically minimize wasteful repetition; Enterprise Designer tests are as varied as possible For example, the 10 test scenarios from the "A) Airplane Ticket Reservation" sample plan are very different from most manual sets of test scenarios. Typically, manual selection would either have far more scenarios that test similar paths through the system (e.g., Coach Class with 1 Adult flying from the United States multiple times) or simply contain far more unspecified values (often due to testers selecting the same value in test after test). Enterprise Designer Difference #3: Manually selected test sets tend to leave many accidental gaps in coverage; Enterprise Designer tests do not leave any You can easily examine testing coverage achieved by your Enterprise Designer generated tests in your plans. Simply go to the “Analysis” screen and click on the “Coverage Matrix” option to see the coverage achieved by your optimized tests. Unlike manually selected sets of test scenarios, Enterprise Designer generated tests will not accidentally leave gaps in coverage.
