TCL Scripting API

Landslide 6.5 Tcl-based API has been expanded to allow total control of the Landslide system via the Tcl interface. This allows you to automate the Landslide system into your integrated test environment to manage, control and query the Landslide tests via the Tcl interface. All the capabilities available via Landslides GUI are available via Landslide’s Tcl API.

Configuring Your Java Settings

Reorganized the help to reflect the Graphical Test Cases Settings

The Following Test Cases have been reorganized to reflect the GUI layout changes. The existing parameters have been grouped differently and no new types of parameter widgets have been added. Some settings that were in pop-up dialogs are now on sub-tabs and are visible only when they are applicable.

See Graphical Test Case Settings for a description of the test case settings layout.
