Naming Tests

These rules apply to test names:

  • Test names and test case names are limited to 30 characters in length.

  • Test names and test case names can consist of letters, numbers, and underscores, but they must begin with a letter.

  • PeopleSoft Test Framework (PTF) converts test names and test case names to uppercase.

  • Two tests in the same database instance must not have the same name, even if they reside in different folders.

    Because PTF data resides in the application database, conflicts may occur if PTF users or administrators attempt to copy tests or test cases from one database to another database containing tests or test cases with the same name.
