Search via the context menu

In Tosca Commander you can perform a search for objects and their properties directly via the context menu. The available search parameters vary depending on the selected object. You can also select more than one object.

To start the search, select Search all from the context menu of an object and select the required parameters from the next menu level.

Procedure

  1. Select the object in the workspace, from which a search query should be started.

  2. Select Search all from the context menu and select the desired parameter.

  3. The query is started as a TQL Search (see chapter "TQL Search").

Options

Tosca offers the following search parameters in single-user workspaces by default:

ExecutionEntries: no Result

All ExecutionEntries with the value no result are searched.

ExecutionEntries: Failed

All ExecutionEntries with the value failed are searched.

ExecutionEntries: Passed

All ExecutionEntries with the value passed are searched.

ExecutionLists

All ExecutionLists within the selected ExecutionEntry folder are searched.

All TestSteps not assigned to any Module are searched.

Not assigned Teststepvalues

All TestStepValues not assigned to any ModuleAttribute are searched.

Disabled Testcase-Items

All disabled TestCase Items are searched.

Usages

All referenced usages of an object are searched.

Used Modules

All used Modules of an object are searched.

Used XModules

Tables with specialized Ktx

All table attributes are searched which have a specialized Ktx parameter.

TestSteps with VirtualTestStepValues

All TestSteps containing a virtual TestStepValue, corresponding to the chosen ModuleAttribute, are shown.

synchronized folders

All synchronous ExecutionEntry folders in an ExecutionList are searched.

Objects with virtual TestStepValues

All objects are searched, which have only initially created XTestStepValues for the selected XModuleAttribute.

TestStepValues with virtual TestStepSubValues

Used OwnedItems

All used, assigned objects are searched, e.g. all Modules, which are referenced in the TestSteps of a TestCase, represent used OwnedItems. In the case of ExecutionLists this would apply to all the TestCases used in the ExecutionEntries (and as a consequence all Modules used in the TestCases).

Excluded Objects
