Custom Test Types Interfaces

ExecConfig Object

Services to enable the testing tool to return configuration information to ALM. The configuration is displayed in the Automation view in the Test Instances Properties dialog. Implementation is optional. (Applies to COM Custom Test Types)

Remarks

Create an ActiveX Control named ExecConfiguration that implements these methods and properties. 

The ExecConfiguration ActiveX Control is used to configure tests and testing tools in the ALM execution mode. The control returns configuration strings (in the testing tool’s internal format) to the ALM client, which saves them in the database. Test configuration information is saved per test in a test set. Test type configuration is saved per project.

When ALM activates an ExecConfiguration ActiveX Control, it sets the TestConfiguration and TestTypeConfiguration properties, then calls the ShowExecConfiguration method in the ExecConfiguration ActiveX Control. When the session ends, ALM gets the TestConfiguration and TestTypeConfiguration properties and saves them in the ALM database. When ALM executes a test, it uses the set_value function to send the configuration strings to the appropriate remote agent.
