Running a schedule or test

You can run a test locally with one user or a schedule with a default launch configuration.

Procedure

  1. In the Test Navigator, expand the project until you locate the schedule or test.
  2. Right-click the schedule or test, and then click Run As > Performance Schedule or Run As > Test.

Results

When you run a schedule or test in this way, Rational Test Workbench automatically sets up a simple launch configuration. A test runs on the local computer, with one user. A schedule runs with the user groups and the locations that you have set. However, the execution results have a default name (the same as the schedule or test, with a suffix) and are stored in a default location.

After you run a test or a schedule, the Performance Test Runs view opens. In this view, you can add comments about the selected result and view the settings that were used to run the schedule. To add comments, in the lower left panel of the Performance Test Runs view, click User Comments. The comments that you enter are displayed on the Summary page of performance reports. To view the settings that were used for a schedule run, click Schedule Settings. The Performance Test Runs View Schedule Settings page displays and shows the statistics and test log settings that were used for the run.

What to do next

You can configure a schedule or test. A typical reason for setting up a configuration is to control where the execution results are stored. For more information, see Setting a launch configuration.
