XStudio 1.0: A new search tab for tests and testcases

XStudio 1.0 will include a new search feature for tests and testcases. This completes the set of search features already available on tasks, specifications, requirements and defects.

So to clarify a little bit the different search functions available on XStudio:

1) Search by name (textfield/combobox available on the top of each tree): if you know the name of the item you're looking for but you don't don't where it is located or you don't want to manually expand all parents node, that's the right way to go. Just type the beginning of the name of the item, the rest will be auto-completed, you can scroll within the list of suggestions and select the right item. Very fast and effective - if you know what you're looking for.

2) Search by Id (global texfield on the main frame): when you have the unique identifier of the item you're looking for (included in the HTML tesplan, reports etc.) that's the right way to go: just type the ID in the textfield and you'll be redirected directly to the right tab, tree and node.

3) Plain text search: select the parent node from which to search and go to the search tab.

Here are the parent node to select depending on what kind of item you're looking for:

• Requirement: Category node
• Specifications: Category node
• Tasks: Root node
• Tests: Root node
• Integrated defects: Category node

Different options will be available to precise the search. The options anyway always include a textfield to enter a text to look for. Generally, this text is searched in properties like name, description, prerequisites, steps to reproduce, testplan (any textual field - formatted or not) and display results along with anchors so that you can just click on one item to open it.
