Registering Custom Test Types with ALM

To register a custom test type with ALM:

  1. Create an ini file with an entry for each of your custom test types. The name of the file is not important. Do not add sections to an ini file created by another supplier.

    The file extension, "ini", must be lower case.

  2. For each type, create a section in the following format:
    [TEST TYPE NAME]
    CLSID={XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}
    where [TEST TYPE NAME] is the name of the test type, and X is a hexadecimal character of the class ID for the TestType class.
    For example:
    [VAPI-TEST]
    CLSID={6D3B8D58-B5F5-11D2-9399-0080C837F11F}
  3. Place the ini file in the CustomTestTypes directory described in Installing a Custom Test Type.
