Settings - Number Formats

You can define number formats in one of the following ways:

• In the settings at Project->Settings->TBox->Number Formats.

• Via test configuration parameter (see chapter "Number formats").

This chapter explains how to define number formats in the settings.

Note the following requirements:

• Decimal marks and digit grouping characters must be different.

• Don't enter numerical values.

Define number formats for the system under test

If the machine on which you create your tests uses a different format than the system under test, define number formats for the system under test.

For instance, if a user enters a comma as the decimal mark, but the system under test uses a period, the test will fail.

To avoid this, change the default values in the settings. Tricentis Tosca then knows how to interpret the format given by the system under test. Tricentis Tosca will also use the same format to write data and time values to the test object.

You can define the following formats:

Target decimal character
Description	Enter the decimal mark that the system under test uses.
Example	.

Target grouping character
Description	Enter the digit grouping character that the system under test uses. If the system under test uses a space as the grouping character, enter '<space>'.
Example	,

Define number formats for Tosca

If you create your tests on different machines and these machines have varying number formats, define a uniform number format for Tricentis Tosca.

You can define the following formats:

Tosca decimal character
Description	Specify the Tricentis Tosca decimal mark.
Example	,

Tosca grouping character
Description	Specify the digit grouping character in Tosca. If you want to use a space as the grouping character, enter '<space>'.
Example	.
