Adding ATF Test Configurations

[sekkun]

I am looking for a way to add additional options when creating a test, such as the ability to change the intervals in which screenshots are taken during a test or skip screenshots entirely, in addition I would like to be able to set a max timeout for any given test.

Here is a bit of background as to why:

Our company has several contracts we support and one of these contracts we support has a very extensive categorization listing, even as far as requiring a Subcategory 2. It's a bit much for building out the dependencies and configuring the large UI Policy over them. I know it isn't best practice, but we don't have too much say in the matter. We decided to use ATF to automate our testing of the categorization for this particular contract and I currently configured it to set the values in each the Category, Subcategory 1, and Subcategory 2, then do a field state validation for testing the UI policies.

This works for what is required, however I am looking to further optimize the testing as it can frequently time out due to the current 600 second timeout setting. The test has a total of 214 steps and I've noticed that it by default ATF will take screenshots after each step, which is not necessary in this case and can take a few seconds to do so, thus contributing a large amount of time overall. I'd like to hear if anyone has had a similar issue, or has done changes to the ATF that you would recommend.

Thanks

Hi Seth,

If you want to SKIP screenshots, refer to the screenshots below:

From the ATF properties you can disable the option to take screenshots.

To modify the screenshots, I couldn't really find something definite but refer to the Script Include section and look for 'ATFStepDescriptionGenerator' & ATFNotificationUtils'.

Please Note: Kindly LIKE or MARK Correct/Helpful, if you are satisfied with my response.

That's exactly what I'm looking for

However, I do not see these properties besides the top two options. I have the first two checked yes, but is there another additional setting I need to activate to see this?

We are on Istanbul Patch 2.

Thanks

One probable reason you are not able to see this because you're in Istanbul Patch 2 while, I am at Jakarta.
