Introduction to New Method wizard

The Method Creation phase begins with the New Method wizard. During this phase, all the information concerning the method is saved locally in a directory indicated by the user. In the subsequent phase, method confirmation, the method is stored in the Knowledge Base where it is visible and editable by all users.

Reduction can be obtained for data stores of a certain size and/or a particular type. In this case, you must be knowledgeable about the application to determine the appropriate selections. However, the Data Subset Extraction module can recognize and automatically create a first subset containing a series of data stores (called register table data stores) that are initially brought into the new test environment. Identifying register table data stores has the following advantages:

• You can create a method to extract only the register table data store subset, which is normally valid for the creation of any test environment independently of the selection criteria applied. Once this method has been saved and confirmed, it can be run whenever necessary.

• You can create a second data store subset, which filters the register data store subset you created, to produce a data store subset that is reduced even further.
