How to ensure the test cases do not use VTB license

Hi team,

 

I have onserved that when I try to save my test cases (rarely), it does not allow save to happen unless there is a valid VTB license. In iTest 4.0 I have observed that the floating iTest license gets lost often and we need to fecth it again. If by luck I am able to check-in again, I can save the test case.

Else, I am stuck.

 

Why does this happen even when I have ensured that my testcase does not have emulation enabled? Is it enough to have Emulation disabled for the test case or should we go back to all the steps on which emulation was enabled and disable them?

Now, I am trying to disale emulation in all the test cases in the entire workspace hoping to get this problem resolved. that is, I should be able to use the Worspace files without the VTB license available also.

 

Please let me know why this happens and what is the solution.

 

Thanks!

Are you saying that some of the steps in your test case are set for emulation, but the test case as a whole has emulation disabled?

I'm trying to reproduce this, and the license dialog came up once when I tried to execute the test case after removing emulation from the test case and removing VTB module from license settings dialog.  So it could be a bug. We will investigate.

Yeah! you are right. The test case as a whole has emulation disabled, but internally some steps may have emulation enabled. So, in a test case which uses several procedures internally (which may have emulation on some steps).

 

My question is: Why do we require a VTB license just to save a file which doesn't even use emulation on the test case or any of the steps?

I agree with you that if emulation is disabled on the test case, then it shouldn't matter whether you have emulation enabled on the individual steps.  I can see that it would be a pain to change emulation settings on the steps.  I've filed a bug for this.

Thanks! Yujie.

Could you let us know how to track when this issue will be resolved?
