User interface elements
User interface elements are described below:
|
UI Element |
Description |
|---|---|
| Name |
The name of the application area (the file name provided when creating the application area). |
| Author |
The ALM user name of the person who created the application area. |
| Location |
The ALM path and file name of the application area. |
| Description |
The description specified for your application area. This field is mandatory, but a non-empty description is created by default for new application areas. Tip: Update the default text with a clear description of your application area, so that users creating new components can understand which application area to use. Additionally, use the Description area to indicate an application area that is still in progress. |
| Associated add-ins |
The add-ins associated with the application area. The associated add-ins are those loaded by OpenText Functional Testing when components are accessed. Note: In general, all add-ins associated with your business process test are loaded when your test run begins. However, when running a Mobile test, if there are different settings for different application areas, only those applied in the application area for the first component in your test take effect. Therefore, we recommend associating the application area for the first component in your test with all required add-ins. |
Modifying the list of associated add-ins
When modifying the list of associated add-ins:
- Selecting a child add-in also selects the parent add-in.
- Clearing the selection for parent add-in also clears the selection for all children.
- If you do not see the add-in you want to add, close and re-open OpenText Functional Testing and load it from the Add-in Manager.
- Changes to this list may require that you restart OpenText Functional Testing for the changes to take effect.
