Normally, the goal of a test run is for all tests in the test suite that are not filtered out by the current configuration to have passing results. See Changing Configuration Values for a description of how the current configuration filters tests in a test run.
If the root test suite folder contains tests with errors or failing results, you must troubleshoot and correct the cause to satisfactorily complete the test run.
Tests with errors are
tests that could not be executed by the JT harness. These errors usually
occur because the test environment is not properly configured or the software
under test is defective. See Tests
with Errors for a detailed description of troubleshooting tests with errors.
Tests that failed are
tests that were executed but had failing results. See Tests
that Fail for a detailed description of troubleshooting tests that failed.
The Test Manager window provides you with the following facilities to effectively troubleshoot a test run:
Use the test tree and view
filters to identify specific folders and tests with errors or failing
results. Open the red and
blue
folders
until the specific tests that failed
or
had errors
are
displayed.
When you click a folder icon in the test tree pane, the JT harness displays a filtered summary of its test status in the Test Manager information area that matches the test tree.
The View filter chosen in the Test Manager window might change the summary values
displayed in the folder view, but does not change the test results written in
the work directory.
Click the Error and the Failed tabs to display the lists of all tests in and under a folder that were not successfully run. You can double-click a test in the lists to view its detailed test information. Refer to Test View below for a description of the test information that the JT harness displays.
When you click a test icon in the test tree or double-click its name in the folder view, the JT harness displays unfiltered, detailed information about the test in the information area. The Test Manager displays the current information for that test from the work directory.
Because the Test Manager does not use a view filter when displaying test information,
the test status displayed in the information area may not match the filtered
view in the test tree or the folder Summary view.
The test view contains detailed test information panes and a brief status message at the bottom identifying the type of result. This message may be sufficient for you to identify the cause of an error or failure.
If you need additional information to identify the cause of the error or failure, use the following panes listed in order of their importance:
Use the Log Viewer (select View > Logs) to monitor log files generated during a test run or to inspect log files after a test run is completed. See Monitoring Output Logs for a detailed description.
If a test suite uses services, use the Service Monitor (select View > Services) to see the status of services. See Monitoring Services for a detailed description.
