| <p class="first-line-indented"> |
| The <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> supports multiple parameters that affect test module execution. To set the parameter's value you can |
| either use a runtime configuration subsystem interface from within the test module initialization function or you can |
| specify the value at runtime during test module invocation. |
| </p> |
| <p class="first-line-indented"> |
| The <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> provides two ways to set a parameter at runtime: by specifying a command line argument and by setting an |
| environment variable. The command line argument always overrides the corresponding environment variable. |
| </p> |
| <p class="first-line-indented"> |
| During test module initialization the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> parses the command line and excludes all parameters that belong to it and |
| their values from the argument list. The rest of command line is forwarded to the test module initialization function |
| supplied by you. The command line argument format expected by the <acronym class="acronym">UTF</acronym> is: |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| --<command line argument name>=<argument_value>. |
| </p> |
| <p class="first-line-indented"> |
| The command line argument name is case sensitive. It is required to match exactly the name in parameter specification. |
| There should not be any spaces between '=' and either command line argument name or argument value. |
| </p> |
| <p class="first-line-indented"> |
| The corresponding environment variable name is also case sensitive and is required to exactly match the name in the |
| parameter specification. |
| </p> |
| <p class="first-line-indented"> |
| All information about supported parameters is summarized below in the reference section. |
