Attributes tab to view the list of current attributes.
Click the name of the attribute that you want to edit.
The
Edit Attribute dialog box displays.
Edit the
Name of the attribute.
When the attribute is available for use, the name will display in list boxes for filters, execution plans, and tests. Attributes
can be used in global filters for filtering by attributes and can be applied to tests and execution plans.
Edit the
Description of the attribute.
See the
Custom Attribute and Requirement Property Types topic for descriptions of each type of attribute. You have different editing options depending on the attribute data type.
Optionally check the
Required (Tests) check box. Required custom attributes must be set when creating a new test. Required attributes that are not yet set display
with an orange background and a red border on the
New Test dialog.
Note: If the parent test has a certain attribute already set, the value is automatically filled in for the child test. However,
the
Inherit from parent check box is always unchecked by default. If the parent test does not require a certain attribute, the
Inherit from parent check box is disabled.
Note: If an attribute is set to
Inactive, it is not required when creating a new test.
Click
OK.
You are returned to the
Attributes list.
