Add an Application revision​

Add a new Application revision to MTA by downloading it from teamserver. The only way to download a revision, is if you select this revision to be used in a Test Configuration.

There are two possible ways of achieving this:

Note that downloading can take some time depending on the size of the Mendix project.

Change the Application revision for a Test Configuration​

  • Navigate to the "Test configurations" page.
  • Select the Test Configuration.
  • Navigate to "App revisions".
  • Click on "Change revision".
  • Select the revision you want to test on.
  • MTA will download the revision if it is not yet downloaded.

Change to a revision downloaded using a subscription​

If a Branch Subscription is present, it is possible to change to the latest downloaded revision immediately.

  • Click on for the Application for which you want to change the revision.
  • Click " Change to (commitid)".

Adapt Test Suites in a Test Configuration to a downloaded Application revision​

note

MTA will not check if the revision of a Test Configuration matches the one that is running on the Application Instance.
This allows for connecting a locally running Application to MTA.

Test Suites in a Test Configuration must be adapted to a new downloaded Application revision, in order to be able to execute the Test Configuration.

  • Click the Adapt to next revision” button for the selected Test Configuration. MTA will evaluate all model changes and check the consistency of the Test Suite definitions with the Mendix model. If the test model and the Mendix model are not compliant a Construction Error will be shown.
note

This can take some time depending on the size of the Mendix project, the number and size of Test Suites in the Test Configuration. The adapt is running as a background process, you can continue using MTA. However, you cannot edit a configuration for which the adapt is running (A limited view of the configuration is possible during the adapt).

Restore previous revision of Test Suites in a Test Configuration​

See Snapshot.

Delete a downloaded Application revision​

It is no longer possible to delete downloaded revisions manually. Application revisions are cleaned up nightly by MTA if they are no longer in use.
