Create new test suite

Creating a new test suite is done by clicking the action button above the test suite tree and entering the name for the new test suite. The new test suite (or test case) is inserted at the currently selected level in the tree.

After creating a new test suite, the Properties tab should be selected in the edit window for entering a short description for the test suite and required test suite attributes:

For test suites, the Test option must be off (is is on after creating the test suite). The Suite option must be on (is set after create). Activating the suite option creates a file suite in the test suite directory, which contains the description entered in the Intention field. The Attributes field may contain any number of attributes beginning with the name which is separated by = sign from the attribute value. Attributes are stored in a file attributes in the test suite directory. From within test browser OSI functions one may access attributes via functions DirEntry ::GetAttribute() and DirEntry ::SetAttribute() .

Below the test suite directory, a data directory has been created, which may contain common test data for the test suite. When the test suite provides common actions, one may also create an actions sub directory by selecting data in the tree and and using the "create a new test suite" action button above the test suite tree. After creating the actions directory, Test and Suite options have to be switched off.
