Define Invalid Term Test |
Use this test to define a term that should never exist in a valid translation. Examples are old product or feature names that should no longer be used, but could still be referenced in a translation memory. This test is also a useful test for frequently misspelled words. The test fails if the defined term exists in a translation. The definitions can be made with plain text matching or with regular expression matching.
The list displays your defined tests and allows new definitions to be added. Equally, the Remove and Edit buttons permit changes to already existing tests. The description area in the dialog shows the comment that was added during the creation process to describe what the test does..

Description |
A longer description about the test that explains when and how to use the test. |
By default, search patterns are regular expression patterns. This gives significant power when defining customized tests. Note, however, that to search for plain text characters such as dot (.) or slash (\), you must escape them. See the Developing Regular Expressions topic for more information.
The Alchemy Support team host additional tests online and these are accessed via the Online Tests button. Available tests are listed by name along with a short description and the value of the patterns being validated. From here, any tests can be downloaded for use locally within the Validation Expert. Before downloading a particular test, use the View button to examine the test in more detail verifying that it behaves appropriately.
Once downloaded, tests behave as if they were created locally. They can be used, edited and shared among team members in the normal way.
Selecting one of your own local tests, press the Submit button to deliver that test to the Alchemy Support Team for inclusion with the online hosted tests. Tests are verified to ensure they do what is stated and that they are appropriate for general hosting. For this reason hosting of submitted tests is not immediate.
