Manage Storage

This command enables you to manage TestComposer resources, such as procedures, device sessions, response templates, CSV templates and QuickTest templates.

When saving a TestComposer resource, it is saved in a folder under the top level folder for a particular resource category. If you want to save a resource to a different location, either on the same machine or on another network machine, use the Composer Resources window that enables you to export a resource.

TestComposer resources fall into the following categories:

  • Procedures: Procedures are used for re-using the same defined operations sequence across multiple tests.

  • Device Sessions: Device sessions are used for storing connectivity parameters to configured devices.

  • Response Templates: Response templates are associated to some command steps, such as Execute, for retrieving specified portions of the command output.

  • CSV Templates: CSV templates, which are associated with CSVAnalyzer sessions, basically define the schema of a CSV file such that session commands can interpret a file in CSV format and retrieve from it portions of interest, such as statistics.

For detailed information on the functionality of the Composer Resources window, as well as the most common resource-related operations, such as exporting and importing resources, refer to The Test Composer Storage.
