The following tables list all available elements in the palette.
Starting with version 19.6.4, efforts have been made to align Non-virtualized Test and Virtualized Test user interfaces, using the same concepts. Non-virtualized Test usability has also been improved. A number of dialog boxes, labels, and palette items have new names and some dialog boxes have been reworked to present data in a more usable way. The functionality and the underlying processing remains the same. Test cases created in earlier versions will still work and will show with label changes when opened with the editor.
The list also highlights what has changed.

Functional Test (Component) | - All properties above the Input/Output data structure have been moved to a Properties tab to simplify the UI and provide more real estate. Several of the labels have got minor changes better describe their purpose.
- Sub Modules Stub tab has been renamed to Stubs.
- Setup JCL/Scripts tab has been renamed to Setup JCL.
- Input/Output data structure tab has been simplified to only show List and Tree view of data. The Table and Source views have been removed. If a user wants to use these more advanced views, it is possible by selecting a data item underneath the Functional Test element in the Test Scenario structure.
|
| - SQL select input field has been changed to a text area to allow multiple lines of SQL.
- The "input" table has been removed. This functionality was originally implemented 5 years ago and had never been used. Instead, users can use variable substitution in the SQL select statement to create dynamic SQL statements.
- The "Output Cols" table has been removed. Output columns are calculated automatically by analyzing the SQL statement so there is no need for this UI part.
|
| - Two fields Compare module and Compare load libraries have been removed for simplicity. These have never been used and were for customers writing their own compare module specifically for some data sets. The verify functionality in Topaz for Total Test can compare and verify data sets.
- If more advanced compare functionality is needed, use the File-AID compare element that integrates with File-AID to perform a more complex comparison.
