Creating a Configuration Suite

To create a configuration suite:

  1. In the menu, click Execution Planning > Details View or Execution Planning > Document View.
  2. Right-click the root node or a folder in the Execution tree and select New Child Configuration Suite or click New Child Configuration Suite in the toolbar. The New Configuration Suite dialog box displays.
  3. Type a Name and Description for the new configuration suite.
  4. Select a Test Container from the list box.
  5. Select a Version and Build from the list boxes, or check the Read from Build Information File check box to read the version and build from a file.
  6. Optional: In the Source Control Label field you can specify that earlier versions of automation files, instead of the latest versions, are fetched from the source control system.
    Note: The Source Control Label property is only enabled if the associated test container uses a source control profile that supports versioning.
  7. Specify all Required attributes, if there are any. Required attributes must be specified when creating a new configuration suite. Required attributes that are not yet set display with an orange background and a red border.
    Note: If the parent element (for example a configuration suite) has a certain attribute already set, the value is automatically filled in for the child element. However, the Inherit from parent check box is always unchecked by default. If the parent element does not require a certain attribute, the Inherit from parent check box is disabled.
    Note: If an attribute is set to Inactive (under Execution Planning > Attributes), it is not required when creating a new element.
  8. Click OK.
