Test Property Translations
The translation feature in Test Properties makes it possible to add multilingual capabilities to the testing process. This is helpful for multilingual testing facilities or generating reports that are required in a customer's language.
Translations can be added to the Test Properties and/or Test Property Sets based on the business process. The translations transfer from these settings to the Test Plans through to Value Recording. These translations can be modified in the various pages as needed, and viewed in the Test Plan, Test Order, Analysis Certificate, and Customer Certificate reports.
To add translations in test property sets
Although translations can be added to Test Properties, they are ideally added to Test Property Sets, which are directly used in Test Plans. In addition to the translations of the Test Properties, a single translation can be added to the Test Property Set.
- On the Related menu of the Test Property Set Card, choose Property Set > Translations to open the Test Translation page.
- In the Language Code field, enter the relevant language and then the translation of the description in the Description field.
This translation will be used as the Description of the Test Property Set in value recording and reports. - In the Extended Text field, enter the translation for the text in the Test Property Short Text field on the Contextual Details FastTab.
- In the Extended Text 2 field, enter the translation for the text in the Test Property Long Text field on the Contextual Details FastTab.
- Close the Test Translation page.
- In the Language Code field, enter the relevant language and then the translation of the description in the Description field.
- On the Lines FastTab, choose Line > Translations to open the Test Translation page for the individual Test Properties.
- In the Language Code field, enter the relevant language and then the translation of the Description field from the line in the Description field.
This translation will be used as the Description of the Test Property in value recording and reports. - In the Extended Text field, enter the translation for the text in the Test Property Text field on the line.
- In the Extended Text 2 field, enter the translation for the text in the Test Property Text 2 field on the line.
- In the Language Code field, enter the relevant language and then the translation of the Description field from the line in the Description field.
Note
Translations added to existing Test Properties/Test Property Sets are not automatically updated through to the Test Plan. Therefore, the Update Test Plan function must be run from the Test Property Sets to update all related Test Plans at once (see Mass Updates of Test Plans). Translations added to new or existing Test Properties/Test Property Sets will be included in new Test Property Sets and Test Plans.
Translations in Test Plans
Once the translations are added to the Test Properties and the Update Test Plan function is run (if added to an existing Test Property Set), the translations of Test Properties and the Test Property Set are available in the Test Plan.
The Test Property translations are visible by opening the Test Plan Prop. Set Card (Lines FastTab > Property Set > Card), choosing the test property, and then choosing Property > Translations on the Lines FastTab.
If changes are made to the Description or Test Prop. Set Text field in the Test Plan line, the translations can be updated in the Description and Extended Text fields, respectively, by choosing Property Set > Translations on the Lines FastTab.
Translations in Test Orders
Translated test properties and test property sets are visible in the Test Order if a QA Language Code is defined in the User Setup.
If a language code used in the translations is not defined per user or a language code does not exist for the Test Property Set, then the default language in COSMO Quality Assurance is shown in the description field of the Test Order line.
The settings in the User Setup are also enabled for viewing the Test Order Properties with translations. In the Test Plan Prop. Set Card, the Caption field in the General FastTab shows the translated Test Property Set description and the Description field in the Lines FastTab show the translated Test Properties.
Translations in Value Recording Pages
The settings in the User Setup also apply to the various Value Recording pages. In the QA Value Recording page (opened from the Test Order), the translated Test Property is visible in the Description field.
In the Test Order/Value Recording Card and the Value Recording Worksheet pages, the translated Test Properties are listed in the Description field of the Lines FastTab.
Translations in Customer Certificate
Translated test methods, test property sets, and test properties are visible in the Customer Certificate Card on the Translations menu in the Lines FastTab.
Translations in Reports
Translations of Test Properties and Test Property Sets can be included in reports by entering the relevant Language Code in the report request page. The reports with translation capabilities are the Test Plan, Test Order, Analysis Certificate, and Customer Certificate/Customer Certificate Test reports.
Similar to the visibility of translations in the Test Order and Value Recording pages, translations will be displayed for test properties/test property sets that match the Language Code; otherwise, the report text will print in the default system language.
Translations in Test Plan Report
In the Test Plan report request page, enter the valid language to include in the report.
Translations in Test Order Report
In the Test Order report request page, enter the valid language to include in the report.
Translations in Analysis Certificate Report
In the Analysis Certificate report request page, enter the valid language to include in the report.
Translations in Customer Certificate Reports
For the Customer Certificate and Customer Certificate Test reports, enter the valid language in the Language Code field in the General FastTab of the Customer Certificate Card.
Translation of Test Property Values in Reports
It is also possible to add translations to the Test Property Values (for example, color selections) to be shown in reports. In the Test Property Card, choose the Test Property Values action on the Home menu. In the Test Property Values page, choose Related > Translations and then enter the translations as described for the Test Property Set.
