In this topic:

StartIsolatedExecution method

Description

Use this method to start a section of isolated test steps, protecting them from interference from other tests running in parallel.

Steps are run in isolation until OpenText Functional Testing encounters the StopIsolatedExecution method.

When used:

• Only the isolated block of code is executed from all tests currently running in parallel.
• If multiple isolated blocks are started from different parallel threads, they are each run one by one.
• Scripts that not running in parallel are not affected by the isolated blocks.

Syntax

ParallelUtil.StartIsolatedExecution

Example

Enter a search term in isolated mode

ParallelUtil.StartIsolatedExecution

Browser("Advantage Shopping").Page("Google").WebEdit("Search").Click

Dim mySendKeys

set mySendKeys = CreateObject("WScript.shell")

mySendKeys.SendKeys("Values")

ParallelUtil.StopIsolatedExecution
