Colored Trees

Each tree node may be assigned a color for better overview within the classification tree. The color attribute will be inherited for child nodes unless otherwise set.

Customizable Reports in Word, Excel, ASCII

The new CTE reports are based on XML files containing all necessary information of the CTE tree and test items. Customizable Python scripts allow reports to be created in Word, Excel and ASCII format.

Navigator Window

The navigator window allows browsing through the whole classification tree in a separate window. Double clicking on the navigator tree nodes opens the respective refinement window, if necessary.

New Keyboard Shortcuts and Modifier Keys

The enhanced keyboard shortcuts allow creating and modifying classification tree elements without mouse interaction. Also, navigation through the tree from one element to another may be performed using the cursor keys.
The Shift and Alt modifier keys allow enhanced mouse operations, like redefinition of parent or moving and reconnection of tree nodes within the tree or refinements.

Warning Visualization

The check dialog displays all warnings in a list and visualizes any selected warning within the drawpad, tablepad or test item list. Refinements will be opened automatically ensuring visibility of items affected by a warning. Red blinking nodes or test items indicate problems or missing settings and allow easy correction or adjustment.

Restructuring Trees without Loosing Marks

Redefinition or changing of parent relationships of tree nodes or of refinements do not further influence the marks set within the combination table. Also, reconnecting nodes to new parents keeps all marks. This may lead to conflicting mark settings, which may be resolved using the new warning visualization dialog described above.

Search

With the new search menu, you can now find tree elements and test items by name.

More Test Case Properties

New properties for test cases are "Expected Reaction" and "Result".
