Specifying Tests to Run

You can use the Tests pane in the Standard Values view to specify which tests in a test suite are run.

Test Suite Areas pane from the Configuration Editor: Standard Values view

You can specify the tests that are run by choosing one of the following:

When you choose Specify, the Tests pane enables the test tree for you to choose individual tests and/or folders of tests for the JavaTest harness to run. The JavaTest harness walks the test tree starting with the sub-branches or tests you specify and executes all tests not filtered out by the exclude list, keyword, or prior status.

The following text is a Note
Restrictions are applied cumulatively. For example, you can specify the tests in a test suite, then restrict the set of tests using an exclude list, and then further restrict the set to only those tests that passed on a prior run.

If you choose a test folder, the JavaTest harness selects all tests in the test suite under that location for the test run.

If you choose one or more tests, the JavaTest harness selects those individual tests for the test run.

The Tests pane highlights all folder and test icons selected for the test run. You can make individual selections in the test tree by pressing the Control key when you click an icon or name in the test tree.

To select a series or sequence of tests or folders, press the Shift key and then click the first and the last icon or name in the sequence.

When you select some (but not all) of the tests in and under a folder, the Test pane partially highlights the folder icon.
