Override
- Note: this filter is only included in the standard edition of Simon, not Simon Express and Simon Free. Learn more...
The Override filter is displayed when you choose Override in the Filter pop-up menu in the New / Edit Test window.
The default Override as Unchanged, Override Custom and Override No Fail filters are based on the Override filter plug-in.
You can use these filters to alter the status of a test from Unchanged, Changed, Failure, or from a success status (the first two), or any status, into a different status, including automatically detecting if a change occurred. Automatic detection works by comparing the output of this filter to the output the last time it was used by this test, resulting in a Changed status if different, otherwise Unchanged.
You can also alter the output text or error message, including using variables (similar to the Format plug-in).
Some filters may display controls for what to override, others may not display anything, if they are pre-configured to override a certain situation.
