TETware professional is a test execution management system that is designed to operate on systems that support at least the functionality described in POSIX 1003.1 (1990). The POSIX standard for Embedded Realtime Systems (POSIX 1003.13) defines four profiles for realtime systems, three of which do not include all the functionality described in P1003.1. Therefore, TETware professional cannot be used to execute test cases directly on these systems.
TETware professional Realtime (TETware professional RT) is an extension to TETware professional, which enables TETware professional to control the execution of tests on Embedded POSIX Realtime Systems that cannot support TETware professional directly.
The Embedded functionality is available as a separate module. Please contact The Open Group for details.
When using distributed TETware professional: When a Test Run is executed, either by pressing the Execute Test Run button on the toolbar or by selecting the menu items Run / Execute Test Run, the system will automatically copy the system files across to the correct directories on the participating remote machines. It is not be necessary to repeat this stage if a Test Run is repeated without any alterations to its configuration.
This enhancement allows users to select configuration files from directories on a mapped remote system, so that the remote system can be configured on the local machine.
A check box is now provided on the Database Setup tab. If this box is checked journal file parameters will be written directly to the database as soon as TETware professional posts the Journal. This eliminates the need for the User to remember to export the parameters to the database by selecting the Start Extract to Database button on the toolbar.
When selecting from the Menu: Run / Advanced Rerun / Result Codes, all the available Result Codes in the tet_code file can now be selected. This includes any user defined Custom Result Codes. Previously only the standard Result Codes were available.
It is now possible to use the following Keyboard Shortcuts to access menu items and toolbar items:
Alt-F | File Menu | Alt-E | Execute Menu |
Alt-N | New Test Run | Alt-C | Config Menu |
Alt-O | Open Test Run | Alt-I | Import Menu |
Alt-S | Save Test Run | Alt-W | Wizards Menu |
Alt-A | Save As Test Run | Alt-H | Browse Help Pages |
Alt-X | Exit | Alt-D | Extract to Database |
Alt-R | Run Menu | Alt-G | Generate Report |
The Delete Key can now be used to remove highlighted items from the tree, with a confirmation dialog box (yes/no) required for verification first. The items affected are: Test Runs, Remote Systems, and Scenario Files.
Where there are logically two answers to a prompt (yes & no) there is no longer a third option (cancel). This change has been implemented in the following places:
When a user attempts to open a Test Run File in which the Test Run has the same name as an already Open Test Run, the option to rename the nominated Test Run is now provided. After changing the Test Run name the Test Run File can be opened.
In previous releases the Execute Test Run icon on the toolbar and the Execution Output icon in the tree were represented by the same graphic. These have now been changed:
Function | New Icon | Replaces |
Execute Test Run | ![]() |
![]() |
Execution Output | ![]() |
![]() |
On the Run / Advanced Re-run first dialog box Result Codes is now set as the default.
Right clicking on a Remote System tree node now gives the user the option to rename and renumber it so that the Test Run may be used to run test on a different Remote System.
Tabbing out of the scenario file test screen, while editing a scenario file, causes the screen to be resized. This affects any Jtext area, and is a bug in releases of Java prior to 1.3.1. To overcome this problem you are advised to upgrade to Java 1.3.1 or later.
The TETware professional Help file, both within the product and on the TETworks website, have been updated to reflect these changes.
The license file is now release version related, and the previous license file will not work in the new release. For TETware professional Realtime, there is a separate license file. Please contact The Open Group for details.
