Procedure Has Been Modified, Run Against the MPT
MTS MultiPurpose TestWare® Working with MPT Specimens 151
Procedure Has Been Modified, Run Against the MPT Specimen, and Saved
Suppose you load procedure “def.000” into memory, modify it without saving
your changes, then run it against MPT specimen Sample 1. Then, after you have
run, you save the modified procedure. Next, you load procedure “abc.000” from
the File menu, and select Sample 1 in the MPT control panel. When you do this,
a window appears with the following selections:
Currently loaded
procedure
If you choose this and then run the test, MPT unlinks the MPT specimen from
procedure “def.000” and link it to procedure “abc.000.” The MPT specimen
contains information (such as test data and log entries) from two different
procedures (“abc.000” and “def.000”). Also, choosing this selection prevents you
from recovering status information stored in the specimen about the execution of
“def.000”.
Procedure assigned to
the MPT specimen
If you choose this and then run the test, MPT replaces the procedure currently in
memory, “abc.000,” with the procedure linked to MPT specimen, “def.000.”
In this scenario, this version of procedure “def.000” includes the modifications
present when it was last run against the MPT specimen, because these changes
were saved after the test was run. So in this case, the saved version of procedure
“def.000” is identical to the version saved in the mpp file. However, since MPT
cannot tell if additional changes have been made before it was saved, it displays
both options.
Procedure snapshot
from last run
This is the default selection. MPT replaces the procedure currently in memory,
“abc.000,” with procedure “def.000” as it was last run against the MPT
specimen.
