Note

This settings does not block the test execution because the location of tests is always specified through a full path to the corresponding files and/or directories.

Test Groups Tab

In this tab, appoint the groups of tests to execute when the tests are run according to the current run configuration.

Grouping tests is helpful, for example, to distinguish between tests to run in a production environment from those to run in your development environment. You just need to create two groups and then include or exclude them depending on the current environment.

To attach a test to a group, tag it with the @group annotation in the format: 

/**
    @group <group specification>
*/
To enable filtering tests based on their authors, tag the tests with the @author annotation.

ItemDescription
Include/Exclude groups Select this check box to enable configuring execution of test groups.
Group Name In this read-only list, select the test group to be involved or skipped in testing.
Include Select this check box to have the tests from the selected test group executed.
Exclude Select this check box to have the tests from the selected test group skipped.

Remote

In this tab, configure deployment of tests to a remote server.

ItemDescription
Remove test files after runSelect this check box to have tests removed from the server upon execution.
Show transfer logsSelect this check box to have test deployment logged.
Server paths mappingsClick this button to open the Override Server Paths Mappings dialog box, where you can map local folders to folders on the server with regard to the file system used on the server.

Tip

IntelliJ IDEA detects these mappings automatically but still provides you with this possibility to specify them manually.
