Monitoring a Test Run

After the test run begins, the Test Manager window displays the progress of the test run in the following areas:

Area Description
Test Tree The test tree uses colored icons to display the current run and test results status of the folders and tests in the work directory. As individual tests are completed, the JavaTest harness updates each test tree icon to indicate its status.

See Using the Test Tree for detailed information about using the test tree to monitor the progress of the test run.

Status Messages Below the test tree area is a resizable text area that displays information about current Test Manager activity. In this area the JavaTest harness displays status messages about the state of the test run and the name of the test being run.
Progress Meter A progress meter is located below the Information Area and displays either the elapsed time of the test run or a progress bar of the current test run. Click the button next to the meter to change the type of meter in use.

See Using the Progress Meter for detailed information about using the test progress meter to monitor the progress of the test run.

Progress Monitor A separate Progress Monitor is available that displays current, detailed information about the progress of the test run.

See Using the Progress Monitor for detailed information.

Information Area As tests run, the JavaTest harness displays information about the run in the information area to the right of the test tree. The information area provides two views:
  • Folder view - When you click a folder icon in the test tree, the JavaTest harness displays a Summary tab, five status tabs, and a status field containing information from the work directory about a folder and its descendants. See Folder View for detailed information about browsing folder information.
  • Test view - When you click a test icon in the test tree or double click its name in the Folder view, the JavaTest harness displays five tabbed panes that contain detailed information about the test. See Test View for detailed information about browsing test information.
