UNDER DEVELOPMENT ...

Overview

The OTF Settings enable you to configure the default settings for the working environment of the OTF. You can configure the general settings such as establishing the default location for your OTX solutions, or enabling the function to restore the last opened solution and procedures, or changing the development platform ect. Besides, you can set up the diagnostic runtime system used in the OTF.

You can access the OTF Settings by selecting the "File" tab of the Ribbon and then selecting the "Options" entry, the OTF Options dialog box will be displayed to configure the OTF settings. The OTF Options dialog box contains several pages that are accessed through tabs on the left-hand side. By clicking a tab on the left pane (e.g. "General", "OTX Runtime System" ect.) you can access the corresponding settings page on the right pane. You can adjust the settings in many pages and click "OK" button, and all the changes will be saved.

The introduction and guidelines for each settings page are described briefly in the following sections.

General settings

In this page contains the following sections which allows you to customize general settings for the working environment of the OTF:

  • "Interface language"
In this section, you can select the display language in the OTF. The default is "English". At present, the OTF only allows you to switch between "English" and "Deustch" (German).
Icons Note.png The OTF must be restarted to see the effect of the language change completely.
  • "Start Settings"
This section allows you to enable or disable loading the last opened solution when starting the OTF. You also can enable or disable restoring the last opened procedures when loading a solution.
  • "Save"
In this section, you can set the default storage location for the OTX solutions. You can also enable or disable creating copy backups of the OTX documents, see the "General" settings page of the Project Settings. Here you can also configure the OTF to save the AdminData as a separate file or as inline data in the OTX documents.
  • "Sequence Designer"
The name of the activities (OTX nodes) in the Workflow Designer are optional. This section allows you to enable or disable the function of automatically creating unique names for the new activities.
  • "Runtime Validation"
Everytime a procedure is executed, it shall automatically validate all the related projects (the current project which contains the executed procedure and the referencing or referenced projects of the current project). If there are still any errors, the procedure shall not be executed. This section allows you to enable or disable the automatic runtime validation of the OTF.
  • "XSL Stylesheet Support"
An OTX document can be viewed in a web browser such as Internet Explorer or FireFox. To achieve this, you must embed a stylesheet in the document. This section will allows you to embed (or clear) the stylesheet in all the documents of the current solution. Remember that you must first copy the "OtxDocumentXslt.zip" archive file into the global program data directory "C:\ProgramData\Emotive\Open Test Framework\".
  • "ODX Database"
In this section, you can enable or disable the "ODX Database Synchronization" function which allows you to synchronize the ODX Database of all the projects in a solution according to the startup project when the solution is loaded.
  • "Others"
In this section, you can set the prefix for the copy of an element in the OTF (within the Solution Explorer or the Workflow Designer). Everytime you copy and paste an element, the name of the copy element will be preceded by the prefix. If you do not prefer the prefix, just leave it empty.
