Test Framework Application Components

An example of the Test Framework application:

Select Application Window 

Select a running application for testing.

Select Application from List 

Launches the Select Application dialog, which displays a list of VTScada applications that can be selected for testing.

Message Area 

To the right of the tool bar buttons appears the message area field. Any important information about the application selected for testing will be displayed in this field. (For example, the application needs to be compiled.)

Module Tree 

The module tree area appears just under the toolbar to the left of the dialog, and displays the modules that are included in the current test. You may use the module tree to select/deselect the tests you wish to run within the loaded application (see Running a Test Using the Test Framework).

Summary Area 

The summary area displays a summary of the testing, including statistics on:

Tests Failed	The number of tests that did not pass during this run.
Tests Passed	The number of tests that passed during this run.
Modules Failed	The number of modules that failed during this run.
Modules Passed	The number of modules that passed during this run.
Asserts Failed	The number of Asserts that failed during this run.

Modules w/o Tests	The number of modules that did not include tests.
Modules with Tests	The number of modules that included tests.

Total Tests	The total number of tests that were run.
Elapsed Time	The total elapsed time (in hh:mm:ss) that it took to run the test.
Remaining Time	The total amount of time (in hh:mm:ss) outstanding for the test being run.

Run Tests 

Run tests on the selected modules.

Pause Tests 

Pause the tests that are running.

Resume Tests 

Resume testing after a test has been paused.

Stop Tests 

Stop the running tests.

Suppress Manual

Check this box to select that only the fully-automated portions of the tests should run. This depends on the test being written to support the automation flag.

Failures Only 

Select this option if you wish the test list to display information only on those tests that failed .

Show All

Select this option if you wish the test list to display information on all tests, passed and failed.

Test List

Presents information on the tests that have passed or failed (depending upon whether the Failures Only or the Show All radio button has been selected). Tests that passed are presented in green text, while tests that failed are highlighted in red. The test list presents the following information for each test:

Test	The Test column identifies the name of the application directory, source file, and module for the test.
Message	The Message column presents a short message identifying the value that was expected and the value that was returned on completion of the test.
Comment	The Comment column displays any comments relevant to the test.
Status	The Status column indicates whether the test passed or failed.
Duration	The Duration column displays the amount of time (in milliseconds) that it took for the test to complete.
When	The When column indicates the exact time and date that the test was completed.
Counts	The Counts column indicates the number of times the test was run. (This count is incremented each time the Run Test button is clicked.)
Failures	The Failures column indicates the number of times the test failed within each testing session.
