Time Context

To activate an assesslet for specific time context, click the three dots button "..." next to the Time context field.

Time context dialog

Choose between the following time context:

Always

The assesslet will be executed in the whole test time context.

Regular expression 

The assesslet is only executed when the entered regular expression is fulfilled. The expression matches time intervals based on boolean conditions. The default expression [true] represents an "always" time context.

Example

The following 2 signals are to be compared. Signals to be compared A Signal Comparison assesslet is executed just when the light_intensity_variable value is above 80. Entered time dependent regular expression Therefore, light_intensity_variable > 80 entered as regular expression will execute the assesslet five times.

Testlet context

The assesslet is only executed when one of the selected testlets is executed. Select testlets in the Project view and use a drag and drop operation.

Time context of testlets

If a selected testlet is not part of the test case, the assesslet will not be executed. If the selected testlet is part of the test case but not reached, the assesslet result will be inconclusive.

Step context

The assesslet is only run when one of the selected steps is executed. Select steps in the step list and use a drag and drop operation. If a selected step is not part of the test case, the assesslet will not be executed. If the selected step is part of the test case but not reached, the assesslet result will be inconclusive.

Step context

Report as Failed if there is no matching time context

Select to tag the assesslet as failed when no matching time context was found. In the test report as well as in the Build Progress dialog the message No time context interval found is display.

Requirements linked to such an assesslet will automatically also be marked as failed.

Example

In the following two scenarios, the Report as Failed if there is no matching time context checkbox has been selected. Assesslet will not be executed Scenario 1 The testlet outside_the_path has been added to the Testlet context of an assesslet. Result: The assesslet is not executed. No result and no warning will be displayed. Scenario 2 The testlet unreachable has been added to the Testlet context of an assesslet. Result:The assesslet gets the result inconclusive.
