Sharing Test Assets

Often, test developers, application developers, testers, and others collaborate to develop tests. PTF enables you to send links to tests, test cases, and logs to other users, saving them from having to navigate through PTF Explorer to locate them.

To share the location of a test asset:

1. Copy the link to the clipboard.

   • In PTF Explorer, highlight the name of a test asset and select Edit, and then Copy Link to Clipboard.

   • In the Log Viewer, with a log open, select Log, and then Copy Link to Clipboard.

2. Paste the link text into a message or document to send to another user.

3. The recipient copies the text and selects Window, and then Quick Open.

   The Quick Open feature is available in PTF Explorer, Test Editor, and Log Viewer.

   The system automatically copies the link for the asset to the Quick Open dialog box.

4. The recipient clicks OK to open the asset.

You can also use Copy Link to Clipboard with the Quick Open feature to locate a folder in PTF Explorer.
