Configuring test sets to run from a specified execution folder

Configure a test set to run test cases from a specific Orchestrator execution folder, package, and version.

Test sets can be set to run from either a default or a specified execution folder. This lets you exclusively execute test cases that are part of that particular folder. Moreover, you also have the option to specify particular packages and their versions from which the test cases are exclusively run.

Steps

1. Visit Test Manager, select Settings from the header, and then go to the General tab.
2. Check the Allow legacy execution context setting:
   • If the setting is enabled: Test cases run without a specific execution folder.
   • If the setting is disabled: Test cases can run only from a specific Orchestrator execution folder, and from a specified package and version.
3. Go to Project Settings and select the Automation tab.
4. Set your default execution folder. This default folder applies to all test sets unless a unique execution folder is specified.
5. Navigate to Test Sets and open a test set.
6. In the Test Cases tab, select Select Automation.
7. Choose a preferred folder, from the Execution folder dropdown list.
8. Select Save to apply the change.
9. In the Test Cases tab of a test set, select Select Automation again.
10. Select one of the following options:
    • Autoselect packages: Selects all available packages in the folder with their latest versions, based on the test cases assigned to the test set.
    • Add automation: Lets you manually choose a package and its version from the corresponding dropdown lists. Use Select to confirm each package-version pairing.

Result

The test set is configured to run test cases only from the specified execution folder, package, and version.
