Operation Constraints Dialog
You use the Operation Constraints dialog to define or edit the pre-conditions and/or post-conditions on an operation in a Testpoint Class that is subject to Testpoint tests.
Pre-conditions defined for a method are evaluated when the method is first called; post-conditions are evaluated (at the same time as any Class Invariant) when the method completes.
Access: Double-click on the operation item in the Testpoints window

The dialog contains two sets of the following fields; one set for pre-conditions and one set for post-conditions:
