Use to construct a query from attributes, symbols, the script, the test case, and test data. This dialog is only available when a test plan is open and the test plan window is active.
Click and then click New or Edit. To access the Edit Testplan Query dialog box, you must select an existing test plan query.
Type the name of the query. This is optional. Named queries are stored by default in testplan.ini. The initialization file is specified in the Data File for Attributes and Queries field in the General Options dialog box.
Specifies the full path of the script that you want to display on the current line of the test plan. To browse for the correct script, click Scripts to display the Testplan Detail Scripts dialog box. Once you select a script, the Testplan Editor writes the selected script into the test plan, beginning the line with the reserved word script, followed by a colon.
Specifies the name of the test case that you want to display on the current line of the test plan. To browse for the correct test case, click Test Cases to view the test cases contained in the script that you have specified in the Script field. Once you select a test plan from the Testplan Detail Testcase dialog box, the Testplan Editor writes the selected test case into the test plan, beginning the line with the reserved word testcase, ddatestcase for a data-driven test case, followed by a colon. To build a query that marks only manual tests, type the keyword manual into the Test case field.
Specifies the data values that you want to pass to the test case. Separate each value with a comma. The Testplan Editor writes the data you specify here to the current line of the test plan, beginning the line with the reserved word testdata, ddatestdata for a data-driven test case, followed by a colon.
Click to select a script to include in the query or type the script name into the Script field.
Click to select a test case to include in the query or type the test case name into the Test case field.
