You can filter the contents of the component tree that
is displayed in the Requirements Library, Test Factory, and Test Lab
perspectives to show only specific test assets or test asset types.
To configure the view filters, click the Configure Filters icon in the toolbar.
You can enter a name filter to hide all test assets that do not match the specified pattern (for example, Card* hides all assets whose name does not begin with "Card"). Name filter patterns are case-sensitive.
Additionally, you can select specific test asset types to hide from the view by clearing the check box next to their type.
Finally, you can set manual root node filters by enabling the Root node filters option. Select the Manual promotion entry and click Browse to locate the node that you want to promote. The selected node appears as the root of the project in the component view.
To remove any filters and restore the default view, click Restore Defaults.
How to find project components.
The Edit > Find command (Ctrl + F) is available in most Rational Integration Tester perspectives to let users locate and highlight components whose name matches a specified search string.
As you enter the search string in the Find field, the first matching item within the view is selected and the total number of matches is displayed to the right of the field.
You
can browse forward and backward through matching items with the Next and Previous
icons. You can
also press Alt + N to move to the next item, or Alt + P to move to
the previous item.
If no items match the current search string, the background of the Find field is displayed in red and "0 matches" is displayed.
When finished,
or to close the search area, click the icon.
Many items in the Rational Integration Tester GUI
are displayed in a tree format. In such views, the Expand
Selection and Collapse Selection
icons are available
to quickly expand or collapse all items within the selected branch.
You can search for test resources within the Test Factory
and Test Lab perspectives by clicking the Search Resource
Contents icon. The search examines the contents of every
file within the project (for example, fields within messages of a
test, the contents of a function within a test), and applies a filter
to the current tree view that displays only items whose contents match
the search terms.
In the Search Resource Contents dialog, enter the search string and select or clear the Case sensitive check box, as desired. To select from previously used search strings, click the arrow on the search field box and select the desired string. If you want to use a regular expression for your search, tick the check box next to Regular expression.
When finished, click Search to filter the component tree according to the selected search term.
To restore the tree to its unfiltered view, click the
highlighted icon and click Clear in the Search dialog.
How to reload an open project.
If you are adding resources to a project outside of the IBM Rational Test Workbench (for example, copy and paste a folder that contains test data from an existing project to the current project), you can refresh Rational Integration Tester so that newly added resources are displayed in the project.
Select Refresh from Rational Integration Tester’s Project menu to reload the contents of the project.
How to edit groups.
When multiple requirements and/or test assets are opened for editing (see Requirements Library or Test Factory), the opened items can be organized into groups by dragging their named tabs into an existing editing panel.
To create a new group, drag an open item into its own editor. When you drop the tab, you can create a new horizontal or vertical group from the context menu that appears.
To move an open item to an existing group, drag and drop it on the desired group and select Move to this Tab Group from the context menu.
To move an open item to the next or previous group (when at least two groups exist), drag it into its own editor and select the desired option from the context menu.
