Changes from TETware professional 1.2a to 1.3
Database
This release includes the TETware professional Database Drivers allowing users to write Journal file parameters to any SQL compliant database.
TETware Report Writer
Support for the use of URI's in the TETware Report Writer is now included.
Scenario File Creation
The ability to create scenarios automatically by choosing the files to be included using a File Parser is now provided.
Scenario File Editing
The Scenario File displayed in the Scenario File Text window may now be
edited and saved under the same or a different name (Save As).
Copy Remote System
A new Remote System may now be created by copying the configuration from a previously set up Remote System in the same Test Run.
Wizards
A Test Run Setup (Advanced) Wizard has been added. It can
be accessed via the Wizards item in the menu bar. There is no access to
this feature from the Toolbar. The Wizards menu now comprises:
- Test Run Setup (Basic) Wizard;
- Test Run Setup (Advanced) Wizard;
- Start New Remote System Wizard.
In all Wizards the CANCEL, BACK, NEXT, FINISH are now included on all screens and
options that are not permitted are grayed out.
In both the Test Run Wizards a Scenario File Selection pane has been added to
prompt the user to include a Scenario File.
A Run TETware Report Writer wizard has been added to the Toolbar in place of
the previous icon which took the user to the Report tab. This also replaces the
Generate button on the TETware Report Writer tab, under the Reporting Tree
Node. Users can now generate reports, based on the most recent execution
of the active Test Run, without having to open the Report Writer tab.
Toolbar
The following changes have been made to the toolbar.
New Icon | Function
|
 | Replaces previous icon. |
 | Create Scenario File
|
 | Run TETware Report Writer
replaces
|
 | Start Extract to Database
|
Reporting Tree Node
The Report Tree Node has been renamed the Reporting Tree Node and moved up to be
under the Configuration Node. This was thought to be more a more logical
location as the report writers, and the database extract tool, must be
configured before they can run from the Toolbar. The name of this node has
been changed to recognize that the Database and Database
Setup tabs have been added to this node.
Scenario Tree Node
This tree node is now always displayed. If no scenario file is selected,
the scenario tree node is displayed with the message "No Scenario File Specified".
There are three new right-click menu options, these are:
Add Scenario File: | Opens the Chose Scenario File pane to allow the user to
select a scenario file.
|
Create Scenario File: | Takes the User to the new Create Scenario File tab.
|
View Scenario Path: | Opens the Scenario File Path Name message box and
displays the full path and name of the Scenario File included in the active Test
Run.
|
Default Settings
Provide default settings for as many Configuration options as possible, including:
- File parsers starting from current directory locations;
- Journal option in Advanced tab should default to "journal";
- TET_ROOT should default from environment variable if available.
Test Run Execution
When the Execute Test Run button on the toolbar
is selected or the Execute Test Run item is selected from the Run menu, a black
execution window no longer appears.
You can monitor the progress of your Test Run by selecting the Execution
Output tree node. Note that while a Test Run is executing the icon
associated with that node changes from
to
.
When the Test Run has finished executing the icon changes back to

Likewise, when a report is generated a black execution window no longer appears.
N.B. Reports are now generated by selecting the
icon on the toolbar.
