Bulk change test properties?

[MaxRussell]

I've spent a large portion of today adding my test coverage against Use Cases in EA and just realised that I've added them all as Unit tests, rather than system...   , no, in fact,  

Is there a quick way to select the tests I've added and change their property from Unit to System or will I have to go and copy them all into system tests?

Max,

I tripped over this the other day. See http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1205213255/1#1.

Don't read my post, but Simon's afterwards. He set me straight! and read what's below. Sigh...

Actually David, that option won't help here, he's talking about the type of tests against an element.

Unfortunately, I can't think of any way to do it, other than:

• Direct database update (with the usual conditions about backing it up etc.)
• Automation client/Add-in.
• Manually re-entering them.

Simon,

What EA would benefit from is displaying a "lowest common denominator" pop up menu when a bunch of objects are selected.  You could then use this to apply bulk changes, to object types, fonts etc...

Alternatively - what about including the object type on a diagrams "show element list" and allowing a user to change this (ok - need to think through the repercussions of this one).

Anything planned for allowing bulk changes this?

David.

I think I'm going to get one of our DB chappies to sort this out. I have CTRL-C, CTRL-V fatigue.

Our system is using Oracle - is there anything they should be partiucularly aware of? Are any GUIDs maintained? Would it just be changing a string? What tables/records need to be modified?

You'll only need to update t_objecttests.TestClass.

1 = Unit
2 = Integration
3 = System
4 = Acceptance
5 = Scenario
