Changes from TETware professional 1.2 to 1.2a


Correct problem with wrong jar being picked up in the batch file.

Corrected.

Alter icons displayed and actions performed so that the following actions are performed:

The icons displayed have been made more useful by changing them so that they carry out the option that they represent.

The order has also been changed to help the user understand the order in which a test run is created.

The icons have been changed to better represent their functions:

FunctionOld  IconNew  Icon
Start New Test Run Wizard
Start Add Remote System Wizard
Add a Scenario File
Run Test Run

Limit options in Test Run Wizard to include only name, description and TET_ROOT.

It has been felt by some users that the Wizard has too many options in it. The wizard has been changed to only include those options that are needed to set up a basic test run. More advanced features of the configuration have been removed from the Wizard. An advanced configuration wizard will be included in Release 1.3.

Make the TETware professional  Report Writer the first Report Writer tab.

As the recommended Report Writer for TETware professional , it was appropriate for this to be the first tab displayed to the user.

Change file choosers to start at the directory from which the jar was run.

It was felt that the file choosers that are used in the program should start from a more intuitive directory. From now on they will start from the location that the jar was originally run from.

Correct import of configuration files so that Boolean expressions work correctly.

Any Boolean value was not transferred correctly using the Import Config Files option. This has been fixed.

Correct the TETware professional  Report Writer Screen so that all values are saved as part of the Test Run.

This was a bug that meant that the values for this Report Writer were not saved as part of the Test Run.

When a Test Run is run, put the new Journal File name into the Report Writer.

To make it easier for the user to run the Report Writer, the name of the journal file is automatically placed in the Report Writer at the end of a Test Run.

Take out file filters on "Add Scenario File" option.

The file filter of a prefix or suffix of "scen" had originally been put in so that it would be easier for users to find the scenario file. In fact some users have found this a hindrance as they do not always use this suffix or prefix.

Change the Include/Exclude Test Case text to explain more clearly its function.

There was some confusion about the use of the Test Case tab in the configuration tab. It was believed that this option was for the addition of test cases to a scenario file. In fact this option is for filtering in and out test cases that were already in the scenario file, using standard pattern matching. The purpose of the option was to allow the scenario file to be a more static file, containing all the Test Cases that were in a test suite, and then to test subsections of the scenario file by using the Include / Exclude Test Case option.

To avoid this confusion the name of the tab has been changed to Scenario Filter and the descriptions for Include and Exclude Patterns(s) have been revised.

Put Wizards into a menu option.

Any option that is displayed as an icon should also be available as a menu item. Both wizards have therefore been added to the menu bar.

If Wizard sets up new Test Run - correct options on menu will now be highlighted.

A problem was found in that if the Wizard created a new test run, the correct options on the menu were not set to be available. This has been fixed.

Product installs by default into C: not C:\Program Files

A problem exists with the underlying software that causes problems with having spaces in the directory path of TET_ROOT. Therefore the installation of the Windows version has been changed so that TETware professional is installed by default into C: not C:\Program Files.
