About the page
The projects are listed in a table with the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Specifies whether to run the project during the project suite run. |
| Stop on Error | Specifies whether to stop the entire project suite run if this project fails. See Stop Project Suite After Project Fails. |
| Name | Read-only. The project name. |
| Location | Read-only. The project file name. |
| Timeout | Specifies the maximum run time (in minutes) for a project. If the run time exceeds the timeout, TestComplete posts an error message to the test log and generates the OnTimeout event. If the event handler sets the Params.Break parameters to True, TestComplete closes all tested applications that it started, stops the project and then continues running the next project.
Default is 0, which means no timeout. Note: If the timeout interval elapses, TestComplete stops only the current project, not the whole project suite. To stop the project suite, call the |
| Description | Any descriptive text for the project. |
You can adjust the table using the customization capabilities provided by TestComplete.
You cannot remove items from the Test Items page of the project suite editor.
The properties set on the current page have effect only during the entire project suite run. They are not taken into account when the underlying project (or a specific test) is launched separately. Thus, for example, you can exclude a project from the project suite's run, but launch it manually through the Run Project_Name command.
