# Test Instance Details - Execution Settings View

This view enables you to view or set the test parameter values for a manual test instance or an automated test instance. You can also view and edit the On Failure rules for an automated test instance.

To access | In the Test Instance Details dialog box, click the Execution Settings button on the sidebar.
Relevant tasks | View test runs
See also | Test Instance Details Dialog Box

Parameters Tab

This tab enables you to view or set actual parameter values for manual test instances. The Parameters tab shows all the test parameters that are used in the test steps, including parameters of called tests that have not already been assigned actual values. Actual values that you assign for parameters in the test instance are used for all test runs of the test instance.

Business Process Testing: To view and edit additional parameters for business process test instances, see Test Iterations Tab.

For details, see Test Parameters Overview

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element (A - Z) | Description
--- | ---
| Select Columns. Opens the Select Columns dialog box, enabling you to determine which columns to display and set the order in which the columns are displayed. For details, see Select Columns/Select Fields Dialog Box.
| Uses a parameter's default value as its actual value. Select a parameter and click the Copy Default Values button.
Actual Value | The value that is used for the parameter during the test run. To add or modify the actual value, type the value in the Actual Value column.
Default Value | The default value of the selected parameter.
Description | A description of the parameter.
Parameter Name | The parameter name.

Automated Tab

This tab enables you to set parameter values and other configuration options for automated test instances.

User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Element (A - Z) | Description
--- | ---
<Automated test configuration options> | You may be able to set additional configuration options, depending on the type of automated test you are running. For details, refer to the user guide for your automated test.
Parameter Value | Displays the value of each parameter. Under Value, you can edit parameter values. Your changes are implemented in the next test run.

Run Events Tab

This tab enables you to view and edit the On Failure rules for an automated test instance.

Important information | If you change the failure rules, your changes are implemented in the next test run.
See also | To set default On Failure rules for a test set, see Automation Tab.

User interface elements are described below:

UI Element (A - Z) | Description
--- | ---
Cleanup test before rerun | Specifies the cleanup test ALM runs before each rerun of the selected test.
Maximum test reruns | Specifies the number of times an automated test should be rerun upon failure.
On failure | Specifies the action for ALM to take when a test run fails. Options include: Do nothing. Stop the test set. This option is not available for Functional test sets. Rerun the test. Runs the test again up to the maximum number of times, as specified in the Maximum test reruns box.

Test Iterations Tab

This tab enables you to view and edit the run-time values for each parameter of each iteration of a business process test instance.

Important information | This tab is available for Business Process Testing only.
See also | For task details, see the Micro Focus Business Process Testing User Guide: How to Set Data for Iterations.

User interface elements are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Element (A - Z) | Description
--- | ---
| Add Iteration. Adds an iteration for the entity (component, group, test, or flow).
| Delete Iteration. Deletes the selected iteration for the entity (component, group, test, or flow).
| Select Iterations. Opens the Select Iterations dialog box, which enables you to select which of the defined iterations you want to run during the test run. You can specify one, all, or a range of iterations.
| Import/Export. Enables you to import component parameter values for iterations from a .csv (comma separated value) file, and to save component parameter values to a .csv file.
<values> | Displays the actual value of the input parameter. You can modify the value by clicking the arrow in the relevant cell, which opens the Set Value dialog box. If no value is specified, the default value for that parameter is used. If no default value is specified, no value is displayed and the entity may not run correctly. Values are saved and compared as strings, but can be specified according to different value types. Test or flow parameters (parameters whose values are to be taken from the business process test or flow), are shown in { } brackets. This instructs ALM to treat the parameter as a parameter and not as a fixed value.
<parameter columns> | Displays the names for each parameter in the displayed iteration.
Iteration # columns/rows | Displays the current run-time values for each parameter in each iteration.
Parameter Description | Displays the description for the parameter and its original source entity (business component, test, or flow). Parameter descriptions are initially entered in the module in which they were created (the Business Components module or the Test Plan module), or in UFT One for automated components.
Value columns | Displays the run-time value for each parameter in the displayed iteration.

Data Tab

This tab enables you to view dynamic data settings for business process and UFT One test configurations.

Important information | This tab is available for test configurations that access dynamic data. For details, see Data for Test Configurations. When accessing this tab from the Execution Settings View, some of the information in this tab is read-only.
