Default properties for Modules

AutomationFramework

Indicates the automation framework, e.g. TBox, Generic.

BusinessType

• On the XModule level this indicates the technology-specific root element, e.g. HtmlDocument, XmlDocument.

• Starting from the XModuleAttribute this indicates the control type of an attribute, independent of the technology used. Equal BusinessTypes have the same properties, e.g. each EditBox control has the property Text.

Cardinality

Specifies how often an XModuleAttribute may be used as an XTestStepValue in one and the same XTestStep (see "Using XModuleAttributes repeatedly in the TestCase").

• 0-1: An XTestStepValue is initially created as a wildcard for each XModuleAttribute. Only one XTestStepValue may be created.

• 1: Exactly one XTestStepValue is created for an XModuleAttribute. The default ActionMode is the value set in the ActionMode column.

• 0-N: An XTestStepValue is initially created as a wildcard for each XModuleAttribute. Any number of XTestStepValues may be created.

• 1-N: An XTestStepValue is initially created as a wildcard for each XModuleAttribute. At least one XTestStepValue must be generated.

CreatedAt

Indicates the date and time when the object was created.

CreatedBy

Indicates the TOSCA user name of the user who created the object.

DefaultActionMode

Specifies the default ActionMode for XTestStepValues.

Newly created XTestStepValues automatically receive the value specified here if the cardinality of the attribute has a value >0 (see "Cardinality").

You can select the available ActionModes from a drop-down list, depending on the specified Interface Type. Some controls receive a default value when you scan them with Tosca XScan.

DefaultDataType

Defines the DataType's default value for the TestStepValue (String, Numeric etc.). The DataType indicates the type of entry that is specified in the TestStepValue's Value field.

The DataType defined on the ModuleAttribute level is applied to the TestStepValues, but it is not binding.

DefaultValue

Defines a default value which is automatically copied to the TestCase whenever the XModule is used. This value is then inherited to specializations and module references (see chapter "Structure XModules").

Description

You can write any information to this text field. The information that is stored here does not have any impact on automated control steering. The text is shown in the tooltip.

HasMissingReferences

Indicates that a reference is missing. Possible values: True, False (default)

ImplementationType

Indicates the technology used for steering the test object (e.g. JAVA, HTML, SAP, etc.).

InterfaceType

Specifies whether the test object is a GUI or nonGUI.

• GUI: The number of ActionModes provided is limited to those required for graphical user interfaces (see "TestStep Values, Using XTestStep Values").

• NonGUI: All available ActionModes are visible.

• Implicit (XModuleAttribute): The InterfaceType of the parent object is used (default value).

IsAbstract

Indicates whether your Module is abstract or not. Abstract Modules cannot be used in the TestCase (see chapter "Generalizations and Specializations").

IsCheckedOutByMe

Indicates whether the current user has checked this object out (True) or not.

IsTBoxModule

Indicates whether a Module is a TBox Module (True) or not (False).

ModifiedAt

Indicates the date and time when the object was last modified.

ModifiedBy

Indicates the TOSCA user name of the user who last modified the object.

NodePath

Contains the unique path to the object in the workspace. Objects can thus be uniquely identified.

OwningGroupName

Specifies the user group that is authorized to modify objects (see chapter " Assign rights to users or user groups").

Revision

The value of this property is automatically assigned in multi-user environments. The revision number increases whenever an object is checked in or out.

SpecialIcon

Use it to assign the icon of a ModuleAttribute to a specific control type. A control type (BusinessType) must be specified as a value for this property. This does not have any impact on automated control steering.

SynchronizationPolicy

This modifies the SynchronizationPolicy of the selected object. Possible values: CannotBeExecuted, CustomizableDefaultIsOn (see chapter "Synchronization - enable/disable").

TechnicalId

Use this parameter to define a technology-specific property.

UniqueId

Contains the object's unique identification number in the workspace.

Version

Specifies the Tricentis Tosca version used to scan the Module.

ViewingGroupName

Specifies the user group for whom an object is visible (see chapter " Assign rights to users or user groups").
