To
directly specify the tests that are run, perform the following steps:
The Configuration Editor opens in Quick Set Mode.
The harness displays this tab only if your test suite uses keywords.
You can use one or more keywords to restrict the set of tests that the harness
runs. In Question Mode, use the Keywords question to specify test run restrictions based on the keywords.
The harness enables the Expression, Insert Operator, and Insert Keyword buttons.
- Click the Expression button to display a list of expressions that can be constructed. From the list, choose the type of expression that you are building. See List of Expressions for a description of the available types of expressions.
- Click the Insert Keyword button to display the list of keywords provided by the test suite for use in filtering tests (this is only available if the test suite has information). From the list, choose one or more keywords used in the expression.
- Click the Insert Operator button to display a list of logical operators that you can include to construct boolean expressions in the text field. From the list, choose an operator to include it in the expression. See List of Logical Operators for a description of the available operators.
The following table provides descriptions and examples of keyword expressions that can be constructed.
Expression | Description |
---|---|
Any Of |
Runs all tests in the test suite having any of the keywords entered in the text field.
Example:
To execute only the tests containing the |
All Of |
Runs all tests in the test suite having all of the keywords entered in the text field.
Example: |
Expression |
Runs all tests in the test suite having the expression entered in the text field.
Use the Insert Keyword and the Insert Operator buttons to construct a Boolean expression in the text field. Keywords stand as Boolean predicates that are true if, and only if, the keyword is present in the test being considered. A test is accepted if the overall value of the expression is true. All other tests are rejected by the restriction.
Example:
To execute only the tests with the |
Logical operators are only available when Expression is selected in the list of expressions. The following table provides descriptions and examples of logical operators that can be used to build keyword expressions. The precedence column indicates the order in which the expression is resolved. Expressions in parentheses are evaluated first, with nested parentheses being evaluated from the innermost parentheses outward.
Logical Operator | Precedence | Description |
---|---|---|
( ) group | 1 | Used to create groups of expressions. Example:
The harness will exclude tests that include both keywords. |
! not | 2 | Logical not. Used to exclude tests containing the expression. Example:
The harness will exclude tests that include either keyword. |
& and | 3 | Logical and. Used to combine expressions.
Example:
The harness will only choose tests that include both keywords. |
| or | 4 | Logical or. Used to specify either of two expressions.
Example:
The harness will only choose tests that include either keyword. |
