If you define test paths based on a complex model, you record individual paths in multiple assignments. The test path consists of several sections each of which is represented by a graphic. You open the individual sections using the start objects. Depending on the model complexity, project type, and current hierarchy level in the project,
different buttons are available to you in the Test paths tab bar. Interactive test path recording is described below.
Manually
Changes the recording mode. Change the mode only if the interactive recording does not work properly.
If you select Manually, you need to click each object that you want to transfer to the test structure.
If you select Interactively, recording is automatic. If interactive recording is interrupted at a rule or process interface, you can decide on the subsequent course of the path. To do this, click the relevant model object with a blue outline.
Interactively
Changes the recording mode.
If you select Interactively, recording is automatic. If interactive recording is interrupted at a rule or process interface, you can decide on the subsequent course of the path. To do this, click the relevant model object with a blue outline.
In assignment
Opens the model to which the selected object is assigned. It describes the object in detail.
If recording is interrupted at a process interface or a related event, you can resume test path recording in the assigned model.
In superior model
Switches from the current model to the model that is one level of detail higher.
If you continued recording in an assignment and click this button, recording is resumed in the superior model.
Up
Moves the selected test object one position up in the test order.
That is how you change the order of test objects in the test path. This function is available only for interactive and manual recording.
Down
Moves the selected test object one position down in the test order.
That is how you change the order of test objects in the test path. This function is available only for interactive and manual recording.
Cancel
Ends the current recording and removes all objects from the test structure.
Additional path
Includes an additional test path in the same model and saves the current one.
Finish
Saves the test case including all objects of the test structure and the graphics for the test paths recorded.
The test path is saved as a graphic and assigned to the test object. All functions in the test path are subordinate to the test object in the defined test sequence.
