Set dependency to a Folder

Hi

I have 2 folders: FolderA and FolderB. FolderA contains multiple tests from several servers that all together make up the status for one application that we are monitoring. FolderB contains only one test that should trigger (start testing) if ANY of the tests in FolderA has a DEAD status.

For that single test inside FolderB, when specifying the dependency, it would be nice to choose the FolderA as the Master test for the "Perfom test when Master test has "dead" status". So that when ANY of the tests inside FolderA has a DEAD status (or UNKNOWN or ALIVE), this will trigger the test in FolderB.

Regards,
Betelgeuse

We plan to implement variables like %::FolderName::GoodTests%, %::FolderName::BadTests%. Then "test depends on expression %::FolderName::BadTests%>0" option will do the trick.

Great, looking forward to those variables. In combination with the new link feature you have implemented, it will make this tool even more powerful.

But please create some more variables and count
- only the tests in the specified folder
- all tests in the specified folder and all subfolders
