BPT Testing Tab (Options Dialog Box)
Relevant for: business process tests and flows
This tab enables you to set options for parameter use of a BPT test and its components in UFT One.
| To access
|
Select Tools > Options > BPT Testing tab.
|
| Important information
|
The Restore Factory Defaults button resets all Options dialog box options to their defaults.
|
| Relevant tasks
|
|
User interface elements are described below:
General Pane
|
UI Element
|
Description |
| Promote component parameters
|
Determines whether UFT One automatically promotes parameters to the flow or test level (when adding a component to a flow or test) or promotes flow parameters to the test level (when adding a flow to a test).
|
| Always link to existing test parameters
|
Determines whether UFT One uses an existing test parameter during promotion or creates an additional test parameter, when a parameter with the same name already exists in the test or flow.
If selected, the Test/Flow Parameter Name suffix is removed, because the parameter may have been promoted from multiple components.
|
| Automatically open Object Repository after Capture
|
Opens the local object repository window after you close the capture toolbar to enable you to edit the objects captured in your object repository. |
| Load internal data for flows contained as part of business process tests
|
Load the parameter and iteration value data for any flows contained when opening a business process test. |
| Auto-parameterization level
|
Instructs UFT One which objects to automatically parameterize:
- Parameterize user input only: UFT One parameterizes only those objects where a user performs an action (such as buttons, text edits.).
- Parameterize all steps: UFT One parameterizes all objects in a given window of an application.
Note: If you want to specify exactly which objects to parameterize, you can set these properties in the configuration XML, located at <UFT One installation folder>\bin\SmartAutoParameterizationConfig.xml.
|
BPT Packaged Apps Kit Pane
| UI Element |
Description |
| Automatically parameterize steps using Business Component parameters:
|
Enables you to use the Business component parameters as the step value parameters |
| Reuse mode
|
Instructs UFT One how to reuse already existing components when learning components with the BPT Packaged Apps Kit. You can select one of the following options:
- Manually select components for reuse: After UFT One analyzes the learned components and compares them to existing components, this option enables you to select which components to reuse.
- Automatically reuse identical components: Enables UFT One to reuse a component that is the same as the learned component without prompting you.
|
| Ignore comments when comparing scripts
|
Instructs UFT One to ignore any comment steps when comparing newly learned components to existing components after learning an application. |
| Learn Flow Parameter Values
|
Instructs UFT One how to create parameters when learning or reusing components. You can select one of the following options:
- Use the default values from the learned flow: Instructs UFT One to use whatever values are learned for those parameters, even if the component is reused from an already existing component.
- Use the values from the reused components: Instructs UFT One to use the values that are saved with the reused component instead of the values learned during the current session.
|
| Component Type
|
Instructs UFT One on the default type of component to create when learning. You can select from either a Keyword GUI component or a Scripted GUI component.
For details on the types of components, see Business components and application areas.
|
Recording Settings pane
| UI Element |
Description |
| Automatically parameterize steps using Business Component parameters
|
Instructs UFT One to create business component parameters (where possible) for test objects when recording, and use these parameters as the value of the test objects in the test steps. |
| Automatically create snapshot for newly recorded components when recording a BPT test
|
Instructs UFT One to take a snapshot of the application window/page when recording. |
| Automatically check in newly recorded components when recording a BPT test
|
If you are working in a version-controlled ALM project, this option instructs UFT One to prompt you to check in all components created during a recording of a business process test. |
