Test Execution Locks and Overrides

You can control the effects of the Test Execution options by using locks and overrides. These features are accessible through the Advanced menu in the user interface.

Locks

Enabling the group lock prevents an option set at a higher level from affecting a specific group or test and the sub-groups and tests below it. Similarly, you can set the test lock to protect the option setting of a test.

Overrides

You can use the overrides to void the lock protection. For example, setting system override nullifies all the locks, and setting group override for a particular group nullifies all the locks below that group.
