Changing the scope of a test project

After you create a test project, you might need to redefine the test scope so you can update the collection of components that are candidates for testing. To update the list of components in the project, you must modify the test project's Test Scope properties.

Component test projects group the test artifacts that you create using automated component testing. A test project is linked to one or more development projects that contain the components you want to test. This collection of components serves to define the scope of the test. The scope of a test project can also use working sets that you have previously created in your workspace. Working sets are groups of elements for display in views or for operations on sets of elements.

To redefine the test scope:

  1. In the Test Navigator view, right-click the test project you want to update and click Properties.
  2. Click Test Scope and select the components you want to make available for testing.
  3. If you have created any working sets in your workspace, you can click Working Sets to use them as the scope of the test project.
  4. Click OK.
The scope of the test project is updated to include the components you have selected.
