Executing Offline Package

Once all the properties are set, you can execute test cases saved in the XML format using three methods.

• Using QualitaOffline.exe
• Using User Defined Properties
• Using Command Line Arguments

Configuration properties can be changed at three different levels to better maneuver configurations in multiple environments.

1. Quaitia-qtp.properties: 
   This file is generated with the creation of offline package and contains all the execution properties.
2. User Defined Properties: 
   Qualitia users can create and define their own set of properties as per the requirements and use this file to execute test packages. This file overrides the properties set in the qualitia-qtp.properties file.
3. Command Line Arguments: 
   Qualitia users can change the properties using command line arguments as well. Arguments provided by the command line overrides the values provided in the qualitia-qtp.properties or user defined properties.
