| <h1>Default Contexts</h1> |
| <p></p> |
| |
| <p>It's good practice to make test case to be focused on testing functionality itself and all operations for preparing |
| application should be moved out from test case to some place. In case of RCPTT the contexts is the right place for these |
| purposes. RCPTT contexts are applied to application before test case execution. In eclipse there are several groups of |
| standard mutable configurations/states: preferences, workspace, workbench.</p> |
| |
| <p>In the process of using RCPTT to create test projects, we came to the conclusion that some contexts should be executed |
| before each test cases. For example, when testing JDT before each test should be cleared Workspace and Working Set, |
| and terminated all active launches. Initially for these purpose Group Context is used, this context should be added t |
| o each test case in RCPTT project. But this practice was uncomfortable, because at the addition of a new test case, it |
| was necessary not to forget to add the Default Group Context. So we introduced the concept of the |
| Default Contexts list.</p> |
| |
| <p>At the creation new RCPTT Project the <span class="uiElement"> <img src="https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/shared/img/project-settings-icon.png"></img> Project Settings</span> |
| file is created automatically.</p> |
| |
| <p>Description of project can be given in "Description" section of the |
| <span class="uiElement"> <img src="https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/shared/img/project-settings-icon.png"></img> Project Settings</span> |
| . |
| Default Contexts can be set in "Default Contexts" section. Contexts to default contexts |
| list can be added from this RCPTT project and also from related RCPTT projects.</p> |
| |
| <div class="screenshot"> |
| <img src="https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/shared/img/screenshot-default-context-editor.png"></img> |
| </div> |
| |
| <p>These default contexts are displayed in test cases. Sequence contexts defined in the Default Contexts |
| list can not be changed in the test case and custom contexts can be added to test case only after |
| default contexts. <span class="uiElement"> <img src="https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/shared/img/project-settings-icon.png"></img> Project Settings</span> |
| can be opened |
| from test case by clicking on <span class="uiElement"> <img src="https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/shared/img/ui-configure-project-default-contexts.png"></img> </span> |

| <p>At the replaying test case the default contexts are displayed in <span class="uiElement"> <img src="https://www.eclipse.org/rcptt/shared/img/ui-execution-view.png"></img> Execution View</span> |
| . |
| Custom contexts are executed after default contexts execution.</p> |
