Filter on "test attribute not empty"

[suesbe]

Hi

I want to set up a new filter for tests, that filters on a test attribute "review" of type "text". All tests with review != "" should be shown, but I did not manage to compare against "empty string" or "not set" . Even SQL wild cards ([ ], _) seem not supported. 

Is such a filter possible with SCTM 2012?

With best regards,

Bernd

Hi Bernd

You mention that you wish to filter all tests where the review attribute is NULL.  However, in SCTM when you add an attribute to a test, you must give it a value.  It cannot be empty or NULL.  If you attempt this you will receive:-

Suggestion

- You could add the review attribute to a test and give it a value of "---" (specifying empty).

- Then create a filter where Test Attribute "review" not equal to "---".  See screenshot below:-

The error was not displayed in the last post.  If you attempt to leave an attribute value null you will receive:-

Hi,

you can set up the wanted filter by this configuration:

Selection criteria: "Test Attribute"

Property: "review"

Operator: "like"

Value: "*"
