Running specific tests in TE

Is there a way to run specific tests with TestExecute? (Instead of running ALL tests)



I've read http://smartbear.com/forums/f74/t53000/running-specific-tests-in-testexecute/ but seeing as that is a question from 2011, I was wondering if there is any other way than using BAT files or multiple .mds files to achieve this.



Any answer is appreciated, even a no!

Please post something, thanks.

    Hi Martin,



    > You see the problem with both command lines and multiple project files is the fact that you can't change the parameters of the tests you run (as far as I know).



    Why not? You can pass whatever additional parameters in the command line and process them using the ParamStr and ParamCount built-in functions. http://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/55587/ (Remarks paragraph)



    Or I did not get the problem/question correctly?

    Hi Alexei, you're as fast as ever! :)

    That is basically a more simple way to run a specific test with a command line, as far as I can tell. What I'm looking for is another way to do it entirely.

    Reading the parameters from an Excel file is a solution, but is that really the best way to handle this problem?
