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.

Remark: 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 existing automatic tests can be viewed in the "Tests" folder 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_addressinput" groups all the test scenarios run from the "WIN_addressinput" window.

Run an automatic test

Several methods can be used to run the tests, from the product used or from the test manager.

To run all tests of current window in the editor:

Make sure the desired window is open in the window editor.
On the "Automatic tests" pane, in the "Tests" group, click "See associated tests".
In the test manager, position on the test name and select "Start all the tests in the list" from the popup menu.

To run a test from the test manager, simply select the desired test and select "Run" in the popup menu.

To run all the tests displayed in the test manager, all you have to do is select "Run all the tests found in the list" from the popup menu of test manager.

To run all the project tests, go to the "Automatic tests" pane, "Tests" group, expand "Run" and select "Run all project tests".

Remarks

To enable the dynamic audit during the automatic tests, go to the "Automatic tests" pane, "Tests" group, expand "Run" and select "Enable dynamic audit during automatic tests". The dynamic audit will be automatically run during the automatic tests and the report window for the dynamic audit will be displayed at the end of the test execution.
The different tests can be run on the executable directly. For more details, see Running the test of an executable.
The dashboard of the project allows you to quickly find out the number of tests in construction, validated, passed, ...
The tests can be run at slow speed to see the actions performed for example: on the "Automatic tests" pane, in the "Tests" group, expand "Run" and select "Run automatic tests in slow mode".

Display the results of tests

To display the result of automatic tests on a project, go to the "Automatic tests" pane, "Tests" group and click "Show the results". The result of tests is displayed in the "Results of tests" pane.
