Test Criteria Application

Test criteria applications let you check specific values and states during scenario visualization. You can manage them from two places: the right lateral view (tab Tests) or the Timeline (line Testcriteria applications).

Via the Tests tab​

Open the right lateral panel and select the Tests tab. The panel shows all test criteria applications for the current scenario or the selected element.

  • Applied to indicates the scenario name or scenario element name and the overall success rate.
  • Use the + button to add a new test criterion application.
  • Use Search controller applications to filter the list.

The list shows each application with its time, the criterion label, a menu and an arrow to expand. When you expand an item, you see:

  • Tested: the element or state being checked
  • Expected: the expected value or state
  • Final: the result after execution (empty until the scenario has been run)

From the list you can:

  • Open the menu on an application:
    • Test Criterion > Edit — edit the criterion definition.
    • Test Criterion Application > Edit — edit when and to which elements this application applies.
    • Test Criterion Application > Delete — remove this application from the scenario.
Test Criteria Application side menu, Tests tab

Via the Timeline​

In the Timeline, find the Testcriteria applications track. Each application appears as a block at a given time.

  • Add an application: double-click on the Testcriteria applications line. The Create or reuse test criterion dialog opens; after choosing or creating a criterion, you configure the application.
  • Edit an application: double-click on an existing block on the Testcriteria applications track to open the application editing dialog.

Create or reuse a test criterion​

When adding a new test criterion application (from the Tests tab or the Timeline), the Create or reuse test criterion dialog appears.

  • Create — define a new test criterion. After saving, you then configure the application.
  • Reuse — select an existing criterion in the dropdown. You can use the Search... field to filter the list. Then confirm with Reuse.

After choosing Create or Reuse, the Apply a Test Criterion dialog opens to set the application type, time, and elements.

Edit a test criterion​

The Edit Test Criterion dialog lets you change the criterion itself (not the application in the scenario). You can open it from the context menu: Test Criterion > Edit.

  • Name — label of the criterion.
  • Condition — first operand, Operator, and second operand. Use the dropdowns to choose the variable or constant value.

** note if a test criterion is applied in a scenario, only the constants can be changed, not the variables. **

Save with Save or close without saving with Cancel.

Apply or configure an application​

The Apply a Test Criterion dialog configures when the criterion is run and which elements it applies to.

General configuration

  • Test Criterion — the criterion to apply.
  • Application Type — Instant (at a given time), Interval (over a period), or Continuous (for the whole scenario).
  • Triggered at — for Instant type, the time in seconds. For interval, you set Start time and Duration.

Elements configuration

  • Select element — choose the scenario elements that the criterion tests. Some criteria compare two operands; you can then select the first and second element.

Use Save to apply and Cancel to close without saving.
