Project
Learn how to create, open, and manage CAT project files in CAT Studio.
This page differs significantly when you have no project and when you have an open project.
No Project
You do not have any project open:
Because CAT organizes tests in project, you need one. You have these options:
-
create a completely new, empty project
-
open an existing project (in CAT you save projects to
.cat.yamlfiles) -
open one of your recent projects, if any
-
open a project that you marked as favorite using the Star button
When you hover a file, you can also remove it from the list using this button:
This will NOT remove the file from the disk, only from the list of your recently open files.
Open Project
When you create a new project or open an existing one, CAT shows high-level overview of what your project contains.
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| (1) | Charts with overview of your project. To what test suites you split your tests, how many there are in each, what data sources are most used in tests |
| (2) | Overview of what data sources you have in the project. You can also add / edit / remove them from here |
| (3) | Overview of outputs you want - on the example screenshot the test results will be available in JSON and MS Excel file and SQL Server table. |
| (4) | Settings of your project - run tests in sequentially (1 thread) or in parallel (more than 1 thread) |
The charts are displayed only when you have at least one test in your project.
Do not confuse project settings (on this page) with CAT Studio settings (in the menu).
