Graphical Editor

The graphical editor Test scenario tab contains the sequence of elements to execute on the left, element properties of the selected element in the middle, and a palette to the right with all available elements to use in the test scenario.

Features of the editor include:

• Automatic validation of field values. Values of fields are validated against the field definition after leaving the field. For instance, if you enter a too long string, the editor will tell you.
• Open properties in a dialog. Double-click on an element in the tree view opens a dialog where you can change its properties.
• Drag and drop elements from the palette to the Test scenario tree view.
• Add the properties Data Reference, Date, Expression and JavaClass to an element by right clicking the element and selecting the Insert into, Insert before, Insert after options.
• Rearrange elements by using drag and drop in the Test scenario view and Properties view.
• Code completion/content assist on data fields, expression editors and some attributes of language elements. Code completion is activated by pressing CTRL+SPACE, and will show available variable ids and datastructures to select. For example:
  • Add a Read Spool File and then a Verify to your test scenario.
  • Under the Verify, go to the Verify Expression and press CTRL+SPACE.
  • You will then see a list of Id's from your test (the one from the Read Spool File) and general ones form the environment.
