Creating a New Configuration

If your test group or test suite does not provide an existing configuration or a configuration template, use the Configuration Editor to create a new configuration file for the test run. If your test suite only provides an environment file (.jte), use the Configuration Editor to include the environment file in the new configuration file.

  1. Open an empty Configuration Editor by choosing Configure > New Configuration from the Test Manager menu bar. You can also open an empty Configuration Editor by clicking the Configuration Editor Full Values view button displayed on the tool bar   button on the tool bar 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 or click the Done button. Either action immediately replaces the previous configuration with the new, empty configuration. Instead, choose the previous configuration file name from the Configuration History list to reload the previous configuration file.
  2. Create the new configuration file by answering the questions displayed by the Configuration Editor.

The Configuration Editor 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:

As you move backward and forward, the Configuration Editor saves all answers until you either save the configuration or change the answers.

You can choose File > Save at any time to save your answers and position in the configuration file. See Saving the Current Configuration.

  1. After you complete the configuration file, click the Done button to save it and close the Configuration Editor.
