3.30.9. Using filters in the ITE

3.30.9.1. Text filters

The Test Case Browser, the Test Suite Browser, the Component Names Browser and the Object Mapping Editor (in the tree view) all contain a filter area at the top. You can enter a filter text into this area to show matches to the text in the browser or editor. Use star (*) as a wildcard and question mark (?) to substitute a single character.

In the Test Case Browser, the Component Names Browser and the Test Suite Browser, the names of the items in the browser are considered for the filter.

In the Object Mapping Editor, the names and types of the components are considered for the filter.

The Data Sets View also has a filter, but it is based on regular expressions as opposed to the filters mentioned above. We add a .* expression to the beginning and end of the string you enter. So for example if you entered a[b], then the used regular expression would be .*a[b].*. If the resulting expression is not a valid regular expression, then your original expression is interpreted as a simple expression used in the other filters.

On the Browser preferences page (see Section 3.29.7, “Browser preferences”) you can set a background color to be used when a filter is applied to any browser or view.
