Key Features

Advanced Code Editor Control

Test Design Studio utilizes an advanced control for editing text files and provides the same editing experience found in powerful editors like Microsoft®'s Visual Studio 2005 product. Some of these features include:

Complete, Language-Independent syntax highlighting with customizeable colors and styles
Automatic Outlining support to collapse the body of functions, multi-line comments, and special "region" markers
Manual Outlining support to define your own regions to collapse text
Automatic bracket highlighting to show you which bracket matches the currently selected bracket
Indentation guides to show tab positions
Word-wrap long lines of code based on column position or viewable area

Full IntelliSense Support

Member lists show available functions, classes, variables, and constants available for the current file based on language, user-defined resource libraries, and built-in support for standard items.
QuickInfo tooltips displayed when you hover your mouse over certain text items (like functions and constants).
Parameter Info displayed as you type parameters for a function call.
Autocomplete recognized words

Object Browser

The Object Browser is a visual representation of all the classes, functions, and other members in your libraries, scripts, and other resources. Select any item to see extended details for that item.

XML Comments

Items within your scripts can be marked up with XML-style comments. These comments provide additional information about a particular item (like the purpose of each parameter in a function call). This extra detail is visible in the Object Browser and in various IntelliSense features.

Documentation Generator

Using the structure of your files and the details provided in XML-style comments, you will be able to generate detailed documentation to supplement your projects. You can view our on-line sample generated for the Mercury CSO Libraries, or download the compiled HTML Help File (note: must save and open HTML Help file from local hard drive).

Seamless Quality Center Integration

A wizard interface is used to define all Quality Center connection information. You can specify one or more servers and define projects within each server. When opening files, all configured projects will appear completely integrated with your standard file system for easy browsing.

Quality Center Administration

Many of the features typically available through the Quality Center Site Administration and Project Customization utilities will be available directly from within Test Design Studio. Manage multiple projects and servers from within a single interface.

External Tool Support

A wizard interface is used to define external tools. This wizard makes it easier than ever to configure additional tools for use with Test Design Studio.

Print and Export Files

All text files can be printed from within the tool. Additionally, files can be exported to either HTML or RTF files and will preserve the colors and styles used for syntax highlighting.

Integrated Web Browser

Browse the web or any web-based application (like Quality Center) directly within the tool. Each web browser instance appears within the editor as a document tab just like the editor windows.
