Local System : Environment tab




The Environment tab for the local system is the place to setup all the environment variables that TETware professional will and may need to execute correctly.

Use the "Browse" button to browse the file system, a file selection dialog box will be displayed that can be used to find directories only.

Use the "Clear" button to clear the contents of the relevant field.

Please note: all variables specified in this tab should be directories, when the Test Run is executed a check is made to ensure that all variables specified in this tab are directories, an error will be displayed if one or more variables are NOT directories and the Test Run execution halted.

All the variables specified in this tab will be passed to TETware professional as Environment variables, that is they will exist as part of TETware professionals run-time environment only for the duration that TETware professional is running. Any other Test Runs that are executing can and will have their own environment specified.

Please click here for more information on Executing Test Runs.


The following variables can be specified in this tab:


TET_ROOT

This variable allows you to specify the location of the TETware professional software on your system. This variable MUST always be specified.

TET_SUITE_ROOT

This variable specifies to TETware professional the location of the Test Suite that is to be used for the Test Run. In general TET_SUITE_ROOT would sit below TET_ROOT in the directory structure but this is not always true. The Scenario file added to the Test Run must lie somewhere in the directory structure below TET_SUITE_ROOT. This variable is optional but necessary if the Test Suite does not lie below TET_ROOT in the file system directory structure.

TET_EXECUTE

This variable lets you specify an alternate directory for test case execution. If specified the test cases are copied to, and executed, in that directory.

TET_TMP_DIR

If specified this variable indicates to TETware professional that it should place all files generated by Test Case activity under the directory specified.

TET_RUN

If specified this variable indicates to TETware professional that it should copy the entire Test Suite to the directory specified and process the Test Suite in that directory.
