Creating a Configuration

If your test group or test suite does not provide an existing configuration or a configuration template, use the Configuration Editor window to create a configuration for the test run.

If your test suite only provides an environment file (.jte), the JavaTest harness uses the Configuration Editor window to include the environment file in the new configuration.

  1. Choose Configure -> New Configuration from the Test Manager menu bar or click the Configuration Editor Full Values view button displayed on the tool bar   button on the toolbar and choosing File -> New Configuration from the Configuration Editor menu bar.

    The following text is a note
    If you accidentally choose New Configuration, do not close the Configuration Editor window or click the Done button. Either action immediately replaces the previous configuration with the new, empty configuration. Instead, choose the previous configuration from the Configuration History list to reload the previous configuration.

     

  2. Answer the questions displayed in the Configuration Editor window.

    The Configuration Editor window displays questions in the center pane (the Question Pane). Use the text box, radio button, or combo box controls located beneath the question to provide the required configuration information. After you answer each question, click the Next button to proceed to the next question.

    The following text is a note
    Some questions provide information and do not require an answer. In these cases, click the Next button to proceed to the next question.

    You can go backward and forward to any question to review or change your answer by doing one of the following:

  3. After you complete the configuration, click the Done button to save the configuration and close the Configuration Editor window.
