Important information
  • If more than one scenario uses a function with the same name from different function libraries, the recovery process may fail. In this case, information regarding the recovery failure is displayed during the run session.
  • For tests: OpenText Functional Testing automatically associates the function library you select with your test. Therefore, you do not need to associate the function library with your test in the Resources pane of the Test Settings dialog box.
  • For components: The function library must be stored in the ALM project.

  • For tests: When you select a function containing one of the following methods in recovery operations, the recovery steps after the method and the Post-Recovery operation you set are skipped:

    • ExitAction
    • ExitTestIteration
    • ExitTest
