Current Configuration View Filter

When you select the Current Configuration view filter, the Test Manager window only displays the status of the folders and tests currently selected by the Configuration Editor. You can use this view filter to display only the test results of the current test run.

Select the Current Configuration view filter by either choosing View > Filters > Current Configuration from the Test Manager menu bar or choosing the Current Configuration view filter from the list at the bottom of the test tree.

Example 1

You only want to run and view the results for tests in the "api" folder.

1. Open the Configuration Editor Standard Values view and click the Tests tab. See Specifying Tests to Run.
2. Click Specify and then click the "api" folder.
3. Click the Done button.
4. Either choose View > Filters > Current Configuration from the Test Manager menu bar or choose the Current Configuration view filter from the list at the bottom of the test tree.

Immediately the Test Manager window displays gray folder and test icons for all folders and tests except those under "api." The Test Manager window changes the Summary totals to indicate that these tests are filtered out.

The current result icons are only displayed in the test tree for those folder and test icons under "api" and the Summary pane is updated to display their totals. When you run the tests, the test tree and folder view only display the results for those folders and tests under "api."

Example 2

You only want to run and view results for failed tests.

1. Open the Configuration Editor Standard Values view and click the Prior Status tab. See Using Prior Status as a Run Filter.
2. In the Prior Status tabbed pane click:

1. Select tests that match
2. Any Of:
3. Failed

3. Click the Done button.
4. Either choose View > Filters > Current Configuration from the Test Manager menu bar or choose the Current Configuration view filter from the list at the bottom of the test tree.

Immediately the Test Manager window displays gray folder and test icons for all folders and tests except those with "failed" test results. The Test Manager window updates the Summary totals to indicate that these tests are filtered out and changes the Passed, Error, and Not Run totals to indicate 0.

The Test Manager window displays those folders and tests in the test tree with "failed" test results as red folder and test icons. The Test Manager window updates the Summary information to indicate the number of tests that have Failed test results.

When you repeat the test run, as failed tests pass, the Test Manager window updates their icons from red folder and test icons to gray folder and test icons (they no longer match the configuration criteria of the view filter). The Test Manager window updates the totals in the Summary pane to match the results displayed in the test tree.
