### 3.6.3. Editing the Project and AUT properties

You can open the Project properties dialog (Figure 3.4, “Project Properties Dialog”) via:

Test-->Properties

Figure 3.4. Project Properties Dialog

The Project properties dialog lets you see and, in some cases, edit information about:

1. the Project in general (Section 3.6.3.1, “Editing general Project properties”).

2. the AUTs (Section 3.6.3.3, “Editing the AUTs in a Project”).

3. the Projects that you have reused in this Project (Section 3.6.4, “Reusing (referencing) whole Projects in a Project”).

#### 3.6.3.1. Editing general Project properties

Select ”General” from the tree on the left-hand side of the Project properties dialog. In the screen that appears, you can:

1. Edit the Project name.

2. Enter a comment for the Project. The comment is visible in the Properties View when you select the Project node in the Test Suite Browser.

3. Edit the toolkit used by the Project (see the following (Section 3.6.3.2, “Changing the toolkit settings for a Project”) for details on this).

4. Edit the markup language used for descriptions in the Project (Section 3.10.8, “Adding descriptions to items in editors”) If you edit the markup language after you have entered descriptions, you may need to adapt the description texts to conform to the newly chosen markup language.

5. Edit whether the Project can be referenced (reused) in other Projects. This will let you use the Test Cases in this Project as the basis or library for other Projects (see the section later for more details on this (Section 3.6.4, “Reusing (referencing) whole Projects in a Project”)).

6. Edit the protected status of the Project. In a protected Projects, you cannot delete Test Cases, edit parameters for Test Cases, or make any changes to the column usage of central test data sets. This is only necessary if the Project is reused in another Project – the protection ensures that irreversible changes cannot be made to the reused Project that would adversely affect its dependent Projects.

7. See the Project version. This is useful if you have more than one version of a Project.

8. See the GUID (global unit identification). This is a unique ID for the Project.

9. Specify how often the full test result details (Section 3.22.3.1, “Re-opening the test result view for a test run”) should be automatically deleted from the database.

10. Configure the tracking of changes in this Project (see the section later (Section 3.6.12, “Tracking changes in a Project”) for details on this).

#### 3.6.3.2. Changing the toolkit settings for a Project

If you want to change the toolkit of a Project in the Project properties dialog, the following rules apply:

1. You can change at any time from the concrete toolkits to a more specific toolkit (e.g. RCP).

2. If your previous choice of toolkit was RCP or SWT, you can only change to another toolkit if your Project does not use any components specific to the originally chosen toolkit.

#### 3.6.3.3. Editing the AUTs in a Project

To see and edit your AUTs for a Project, select ”AUTs” from the tree on the left-hand side of the Project properties dialog.

In the screen that appears, you can see any AUTs you have already added to the Project (Figure 3.5, “AUT Properties Dialog”). You can choose to edit them, delete them or add a new AUT.

Figure 3.5. AUT Properties Dialog

Defining and editing AUTs from here involves the same steps as defining an AUT in the Project wizard (Section 3.7, “Defining applications under test (AUTs)”).

#### 3.6.3.4. Duplicating AUT configurations

You can duplicate an existing AUT configuration from the Project properties dialog:

1. Select ”AUTs” from the tree on the left-hand side of the Project properties dialog.

2. Select the AUT configuration you want to duplicate.

3. Click ”Duplicate”.

4. The AUT configuration dialog will open. The AUT configuration name and the AUT ID are automatically changed so that they remain unique. We recommend writing more meaningful names for the configuration and the ID, however.

#### 3.6.3.5. Editing the AUT configurations in a Project

Select ”AUTs” from the tree on the left-hand side of the Project properties dialog.

In the screen that appears, you can see the AUTs you have added to this Project. Select the AUT you want to add a configuration to, and click ”Edit”.

In the next screen there is a box labelled ”AUT configurations”. You can choose to add, edit or delete AUT configurations.

Adding and editing AUT configurations from here involves the same steps as adding an AUT configuration in the Project wizard (Section 3.8.1, “Configuring AUTs to be started from the ITE”).
