Status of this Release

This Release of the TETware GUI is a general release for production use.


New Features in this Release

Test Run File

The Test Run file (trf) has been enhanced to make it human readable. It is now a text file in an XML style format. The GUI will open Test Run files written in the previous class format. The items in the file are in the format:

   variable = value

All of the fields previously stored in the trf continue to be stored in the new file format. TETware GUI 1.5 will open test run files in either format, but will only write files in the new format.

Distributed Tab

This is a new tab displayed when the Configuration tree node is selected. This tab is only displayed if a Distributed TETware license file is used (see below). It is not displayed if a TETware Lite or TETware RT license file is used.

The functions provided by this tab were previously included on the Advanced tab.

Embedded Tab

This tab has been moved from the Remote System tree node to the Configuration tree node. This tab is only displayed if a TETware RT license file is used (see below). It is not displayed if a TETware Lite or Distributed TETware license file is used.

Advanced Tab

The distributed TETware functions have been moved to the new Distributed tab.

TETware Report Writer Tab

This tab has been restructured so that more frequently viewed fields are now at the top of the tab. The field which displays the Report Writer file name and path has been removed as it was superfluous. An auto-write facility has been added so that a report may be generated immediately after a Journal file is generated. The report may also be written to the same directory as the source Journal file.

Remote Environment Tab

The mandatory field TET_TSROOT has been moved up to be immediately under TET_ROOT so that it is more accessible.

Configuration Variable Expansion

Support has been added for Configuration Variable Expansion (TET_EXPAND_CONF_VARS) so that imported configuration variables are inserted into the correct path automatically. The following tabs are affected: Local Build Mode; Local Execute Mode; Local Clean Mode; Remote Build Mode; Remote Execute Mode; Remote Clean Mode

Alt-B Basic Wizard Alt-K Create a Scenario File
