+ <title>Reading test specification terms</title>
+ <p>It's possible to look up terms in the current test specification
+ (i.e. the spec that's been used to configure and run the current test).
+ The function <c>get_testspec_terms()</c> returns a list of all test spec
+ terms (both config- and test terms) and <c>get_testspec_terms(Tags)</c>
+ returns the term (or a list of terms) matching the tag (or tags) in
+ <c>Tags</c>.</p>
+ <p>For example, in the test specification:</p>
+ <pre>
+ ...
+ {label, my_server_smoke_test}.
+ {config, "../../my_server_setup.cfg"}.
+ {config, "../../my_server_interface.cfg"}.
+ ...</pre>
+ <p>And in e.g. a test suite or a CT hook function:</p>
+ <pre>
+ ...
+ [{label,[{_Node,TestType}]}, {config,CfgFiles}] =
+ ct:get_testspec_terms([label,config]),
+
+ [verify_my_server_cfg(TestType, CfgFile) || {Node,CfgFile} &lt;- CfgFiles,
+ Node == node()];
+ ...</pre>
