Running component tests

You generate test results by running the test. To run a component test, you must create a test run configuration.

Before you run a component test:
To create a run configuration and run component tests:
  1. Click Run > Run.
  2. In the Configurations list, select Component Test and click New.
  3. Type the name of the new run configuration. If the name already exists, it is appended with a number.
  4. Click the Test tab and select the test suites and test cases that you want to run. You can select multiple test suites and test cases from multiple projects.
  5. Click the Execution Results tab to change the way execution results are produced.
    1. You can specify the name of the test run results. By default, the name is the same as the run configuration.
    2. Select Overwrite existing test run results if you do not want to keep previous test run results. By default, test run results are generated with a timestamp appended to their name in order to differentiate them. When this option is selected, all test runs have the specified name, overwriting any existing results.
    3. You can change the location where the test run result is located. By default, test run results are produced in the Run folder of the current test project.
  6. Click Run to execute the run configuration.
You can see the progress of the test run by clicking the Progress Progress button button in the status bar.
