Handling an automatic test

Overview

When an automatic test is created, this test is in "construction" by default.

Several operations can be performed on an automatic test from the test manager:

Change its status (make a test available for example).
View the status report of test.
Modify the test code.
Modify the test description.

You can also:

Display the list of available tests.
Run an automatic test.
Display the results of tests.

Note: Use in Windows Vista and later: To record and replay the automatic unit tests, the UAC mechanism must be disabled.

List of available tests

The list of all the existing automatic tests can be viewed in the "Tests" section of "Project explorer" pane.

The different scenarios are grouped according to the element whose test is run (or according to the element that started the automatic test). For example, "TEST_WIN_Menu" groups all the test scenarios run from the "WIN_Menu" window.

Note: To view the automatic tests run on a project, you also have the ability to select "Automatic tests .. Display the results". To edit a test found in this list, all you have to do is double-click its name. The results can be printed via the "Print" button.Note: To view the different automatic tests run on a project, on the "Automatic tests" pane, in the "Tests" group, click "Show the results".
