Lesson 3.5: Evaluating functional results

You completed the test case of using data pool values, adding loops, and adding verification points in a test. Now, after running the test, you evaluate the live report to check if the test case ran successfully. The live report displays each user action that was added to the test.
If you run the test from the mobile test client, the test elements such as data pool and loop that you added in IBM® Rational® Test Workbench are ignored. To ensure that the test includes all of the test elements that you added in the test workbench, you must initiate or run the test from the test workbench.

If you run the test from the mobile test client, the result is listed in both mobile test client and test workbench. In the test workbench, the result is located in the Mobile and Web UI Results folder of the Test Navigator view. If you run the test from test workbench, the results are listed only in the test workbench in the Results folder.

Mobile and Web UI report:

Live report
If the test fails, the Execution Status displays a failure message with a link to the action that failed. Scroll through the report to verify that all of the operators added earlier to the data pool and the results for each mathematical operation are displayed correctly.

You can also generate a functional test report from the results. The functional test report shows the verdicts of the test and each action in the test.

To generate a functional test report:

  1. In the Test Navigator view, expand the Results folder.
  2. Right-click the results and click Generate Functional Test Report.
  3. Select myAndProj as the destination of the report and click Next.
  4. From Report Template, click Common Functional Test Report (XSL) and click Finish. The functional test report is generated.

Lesson checkpoint

You evaluated the results of the test. You also generated a functional test report for the test.
