| | h1. Situation |
| | Set up the configuration so that it can ask user for below settings when manually triggered: |
| | # User can select either _Smoke Test Mode_ or _Acceptance Test Mode_. |
| | # When _Smoke Test Mode_ is selected, user can select _Component A_ and/or _Component B_ to test, and can select whether or not to run integration tests. |
| | # When _Acceptance Test Mode_ is selected, user can continue to select _Component C_ and/or _Component D_ to test. |
| |  | # User can select which nodes to run the test. |
| | | # User can optionally select which test suite to run. |
| | # User can optionally select which test case to run in the selected test suite. |
| | |
| | h1. Demonstration |
| | # Open [this configuration|http://demo.pmease.com/dashboard/92] and hit the run button. |
| | # A build option screen will be presented with desired settings. Make some selection and hit the OK button. |
| | # Wait for some time for the build to finish. Check the [step status|http://demo.pmease.com/build/92:latest] screen, and you will find that the test step has been executed on the nodes you specified in the build option screen. |
| | # Open [build log|http://demo.pmease.com/build/92:latest/log] and check output of the test step. For demonstration purpose, the specified test setting and its options are printed in the log correctly. |

| | h1. Resolution |
| | # [Create a custom plugin|plugin tutorials] implementing the PromptBeanProvider extension point to provider your own build option bean. You may start with the sample plugin _com.example.promptbean_ in directory _<QuickBuild server install dir>/dev/plugin/samples_, and modify various bean classes as necessary. Refer to [bean editor] on how to annotate your beans for editing purpose. This tutorial uses the sample plugin directly. |
| | # Stop QuickBuild, deploy your plugin to QuickBuild, and then start QuickBuild. Refer to [plugin tutorials] on how to do this. |
| | # Define a variable with prompt setting set to _prompt for bean input_, and choose the bean you provided in your plugin. In this tutorial, we choosed the _Example Prompt Bean_ as demonstrated [here|http://demo.pmease.com/settings/92/variables]. |
| | # Please note that we also specified default value of the bean by creating the bean object with groovy, assigning default values to its fields, and convert it to a string. This default bean will be used to populate the variable when the build is not manually triggered (ie. triggered via schedule). |
 | | # Definition of the [test step|http://demo.pmease.com/settings/92/steps] retrieves the bean via the variable and traverses the object graph to print interesting information. This step also specifies repetition settings to make use of the nodes specified in the bean, so that its execution can be repeated on all nodes choosed by the user. |
