Jump to Parent

The system jumps to the parent object of the selected object.

Toggle Character

Modifies the value of the property Character of the selected Instance (see chapter "Define Instance Character").

Toggle Position

Modifies the value of the property Position of the selected Instance (see chapter "Define Instance Position").

Optimize Instances
->Merge Instance Duplicates

Removes all Instances from the selected TestSheet which possess objects of identical values (see chapter "Merge duplicate Instances").

Optimize Instances
->Arrange Instances

This arranges the Instances of the selected Attribute (see chapter "Work with Instances").

Convert
->Convert Instances to Values

Converts the Instances of the selected Attribute into simple values (see chapter "Work with Instances").

Convert
->Instances from Values

Converts simple values of the selected Attribute into Instances, provided that this does not have any Instances yet (see chapter "Work with Instances").

Convert
->Convert Instance(s) to Attribute(s)

Converts all Instances of the selected TestSheet or Attribute in Attributes if this contains solely Instances.

Convert
->Convert Attribute(s) to Instance(s)

Converts all Attributes of the selected TestSheet or Attribute in Instances if this contains solely Attributes.

Convert
->Convert to Step

Converts the selected Attribute into a TestCaseDesign Step (see chapter "Use TestCase-Design Steps").

Convert
->Convert to Attribute

Converts the selected TestCaseDesign Step into an Attribute (see chapter "Work with Attributes").

Toggle Business Relevance

Modifies the value of the property BusinessRelevant of the selected Attribute (see chapter "Toggle Business Relevance").

Inner Values
->Update instance weights

This calculates the Instance weight of the selected TestSheet or Attribute based on the weight that is collected from the weight of Attributes and Attribute Instances (see chapter "Work with Inner Values").

Inner Values
->Auto assign instance weights

This defines automatically the weight of the Instances and Attributes of the selected TestSheets or Attributes (see chapter "Work with Inner Values").

Inner Values
->Reset WeightLack

Accepts a WeightLack and standardizes the overall contribution of the TestCases to 1 in the selected TestSheet. A WeightLack indicates the value of an instance which is not yet in use and its impact on the overall contribution (see chapter "Reset WeightLack").

Fill empty Values
->Specific

Defines a value for each Instance of the selected TestSheet or Class on the Attribute level.

This option opens a dialog box to select an existing value in order to fill empty fields. If an Attribute does not have any Instances, you can enter a user-specific value.

Fill empty Values
->Orthogonal

Defines a value for each Instance of the selected TestSheet or Class on the Attribute level.

All child Instances are transferred as values for the Attribute. Values are filled as described in chapter "Combinatorial methods".
