You
can create a customized, shared test object map that you can associate with
scripts.
About this task
To create a new test object map:
- Click the Create a Test Object Map button
to open the Create New Test Object
Map wizard.
- Type or select the project path, if necessary.
- On the Create a Test Object Map page, type the name of the new
test object map in the Map name field.
- If you use ClearCase®, click Add the map to ClearCase if
you want to put the test object map under source control. The map is added
to ClearCase but
remains checked out so that you can modify it.
- To designate the new map as the project default, click Set
this Test Object Map as default choice for new scripts. Functional
Tester uses this test object map whenever you record or create a new script.
Tip: To remove the default designation:
- Right-click the test object map in the Projects view and click Clear
As Project Default.
- You can also designate a default test object map by right-clicking the
test object map in the Projects view and clicking Set as Project
Default.
- Click Next.
- In the Copy Test Objects to New Test Object Map page, select the
type of test object map you want to create:
- To create an empty test object map with no objects, click Don't
copy any Test Objects and click Finish.
- To create a map using one or more existing test object maps as a template:
- Click Select Test Object Maps and scripts to copy Test Objects
from.
- Select one or more test object maps to base the new map on. To select
multiple maps and scripts, use Ctrl keys.
- To connect the new test object map with any scripts you have selected,
select Connect selected scripts with new Test Object Map.
With this option, Functional Test updates the selected scripts to point to
the newly merged test object map. If you use ClearCase, Functional Tester checks
out the scripts and test object maps as unreserved and leaves them checked
out after the merge is complete.
- Click Finish.
Functional Tester merges test objects from the maps
and selected scripts into the test object map. You can add objects to the
map or edit the object properties in the object map if required.
