If you use a custom attribute in a configuration, create a file named
tmsconfig.csv
on
Setting Up Custom Attributes in tmsconfig.csv
As indicated in the previous section, if you have defined custom attributes and
values, you need to create a
tmsconfig.csv
file or use the empty
tmsconfig.csv
file
provided on each computer on which you intend to run a configured test case. This
file contains the attributes and values appropriate to that computer. When you run a
configured test case, TestManager checks this file and runs the test case only if both
the custom and the built-in attributes match the configuration of the test case.
For example, suppose that you have a configured test case that should run only on
computers that have Internet Explorer 4 installed. You have defined the custom
attribute and its values by clicking
Tools > Manage > Configuration Attributes
, and then
clicking
New
, as described in the previous section. You now need to create a
tmsconfig.csv
file or use the empty
tmsconfig.csv
file provided that includes the
attribute and its value on that computer.
