Setting the Standard Values

The following lists the batch commands used to set the Standard Values in the current configuration:

concurrency number

Specifies the number of tests run concurrently. If you are running the tests on a multi-processor computer, concurrency can speed up your test runs.

Example:

..;concurrency 2;..

env environment

Specifies a test environment in an environment file. This is only used with envFiles of test suites that use parameter (.jtp) and environment (.jte) files.

Example:

..;env testsystem;..

envFile environment-file

Specifies an environment file (.jte) containing test environments that the JavaTest harness uses to run older test suites. The environment file is not used by newer test suites that use a configuration (.jti) file.

Example:

..;envFile test.jte;..

excludeList exclude-list-file

Exclude list files contain a list of tests that are not to be run. Exclude list files conventionally use the extension .jtx and are normally supplied with a test suite.

Example:

..;excludeList sample.jtx;..

keywords keyword-expr

Restricts the set of tests to be run based on keywords associated with tests in the test suite

Example:

..;keywords interactive;..

params parameter-arguments

These commands are deprecated. However, for backwards compatibility, if you are running a test suite that uses a parameter file (.jtp) you can continue to use the params command and its arguments to set parameter values when starting the JavaTest harness. Refer to Parameter Commands for detailed information about using the params command.

priorStatus status-arguments

Selects the tests included in a test run based on their outcome on a prior test run. The status-arguments that can be used are "pass," "fail," "error," and "notRun." If you use more than one argument, each argument must be separated by a comma.

Example:

..;priorStatus fail,error;..

tests test-name

Create a list of test directories and/or tests to run. The JavaTest harness walks the test tree starting with the sub-branches and/or tests you specify and executes all tests that it finds (unless they are filtered out).

Example:

..;tests api;..

timeoutFactor number

Increases the amount of time that the JavaTest harness waits for a test to complete before moving on to the next test. Each test's timeout limit is multiplied by the time factor value. For example, if you specify a value of "2", the timeout limit for tests with a 10 basic time limit becomes 20 minutes.

Example:

..;timeoutFactor 2;..
