5.3.1.3. Searching and Sorting Systems Under Test

The Systems Under Test (SUT) section allows to maintain the systems that can be tested. A SUT is used to represent a version of a software product that can be tested.

5.3.1.  Maintain Systems Under Test

Maintain Systems Under Test allows to create, remove, update and search SUTs ( Figure 5.8 ). This can be done by editing the table shown in the Maintain Systems under Test Page or on the details page.

Figure 5.8. The Maintain Systems Under Test Screen

The Maintain Systems Under Test Screen


The table shows all defined systems under test. Each row in the table represents a system under test. The version of the system under test can be changed by clicking into the fields and editing it directly. To submit the changes press the Save button, to discard the changes press Cancel.

By clicking on the Delete icon the SUT will be removed from Klaros-Testmanagement database.

[Note] Delete button disabled

SUTs that are already referenced by test runs cannot be deleted, so their Delete icon is disabled.

By clicking on the Edit icon the details page of the system under test will be displayed.

5.3.1.1. Creating a System Under Test

By clicking on the New button the user is able to create a new SUT ( Figure 5.8). An empty row is added at the beginning of the table. The SUT version can be specified. The SUT ID is automatically assigned by Klaros-Testmanagement. The project is the current selected project. Press the Save button to confirm the creation or the Cancel button to discard the changes. The user can create and save more than one SUT at time.

5.3.1.2. Editing the user defined properties of a System Under Test

[Important]Klaros-Testmanagement Enterprise Edition Feature

This feature is only available in the Klaros-Testmanagement Enterprise Edition.

If there user defined properties for systems under test configured, they can be edited on this tab. Figure 5.9 )

[Note]Note

The tab is disabled if no user defined properties for systems under test exist. How to maintain the user defined properties is decribed in section Section 5.1.2.8, “Editing the user defined properties of a project” .

5.3.1.3. Searching and Sorting Systems Under Test

It is possible to search for Systems Under Test and sort the results of the search with the filtering and sorting options. The filtering and sorting options become visible by opening the Filter / Sort panel. The Filter / Sort panel contains two tables. The left table contains the filtering parameters, the right table contains the sorting parameters.

Below the two tables you find two buttons:

Apply

The Apply button applies the filter and sorting criteria specified in the two tables above and presents the filtered and sorted result in the table below.

Reset

The Reset button clears the tables with the filter and sorting criteria and displays all Systems Under Test.

5.3.1.3.1. Specifying Search Criteria for Systems Under Test

Each line in the filter table represents a criterion that restricts the result set that is displayed in the table below, i.e. the set of all SUTs is filtered for the conjunction of all criteria listed in the filtering table.

By clicking the button, a new and empty row for a filter criterion is appended to the table. The table with the filtering criteria has four columns:

  • The Field column denotes the field in the table that the criterion is filtering for. In the Filter / Sort panel of the maintain SUTs page are two fields that can be filtered: ID and Version.

  • The Type column denotes the operator that is used for the criterion. In the maintain SUTs page the following operators are available:

    Equals

    Only the items that exactly match the value of the criterion are shown.

    Not equals

    The items that do not equal the value of the criterion are shown in the result table.

    Greater than or equals

    Items that are greater than or equal the value of the criterion are shown.

    Less than or equals

    Items that are less than or equal the value of the criterion are shown.

    Greater than

    Items that are greater than the value of the criterion are shown.

    Less than

    Items that are less than the value of the criterion are shown.

    Like

    Items that have a part that matches value of the criterion are shown.

  • The Value column defines the value for the filtering criterion.

  • The Action column contains a button ( ) for deleting the criterion in the current line.

5.3.1.3.2. Specifying Sorting Criteria for Systems Under Test

The table that contains the list of Systems Under Test can be sorted. The criteria for the sorting are specified in the right table in the Filter / Sort panel. It is possible to specify more than one sorting option. If there are more than one sorting options the uppermost sorting criterion has the highest priority, lowest row in the sorting criterion table has the lowest priority.

When the button is clicked, a new empty row for a sorting criterion is appended at the bottom of the sorting options table. Each row in the sorting options table has in the Action column a Delete button ( ). By pressing this button the row with the sorting criterion can be removed.

The sorting options table contains three columns:

  • The Order By column denotes the field in the results table that the sorting applies to. The fields that can be sorted for in the maintain SUTs screen are ID and Version.

  • The Type column defines the direction of the sorting sequence, i.e. descending or ascending.

  • The Action column contains a button for deleting the sorting criterion.
