Rational TestManager - Executing the Test Script
Running the Test Suite
To run the test
suite, click on the toolbar button that looks like a running man.
The following
window opens:
Click the
Options button
Make sure the
options are set according to the following screen-shot
Click OK on the
Options window and on the Test Suite window to begin running the suite
Running the Manual Test
This brings up
the first ManualTest script.

Normally, we
would perform each step with the program to be tested, marking each
verification as pass or failed, but for our tutorial, let us simple pretend we
have actually done each step
On the First
ManualTest script, mark each step with a check mark under results, and the
verification point as Pass as shown and click done.
On the Second
ManualTest script, mark each step with a check mark under results, but mark the
verification point as Fail as shown.
Under Result
Details, fill out a detail like The order history did not match the order.
Click Done
This will bring up
the Test Log with the results displayed.
Analyzing Test Results
The Test Log with
the result of the test will come up.
Since one of our
tests passed and the other failed, this will be reflected in the Test Log
Even if a single
verification point fails in a test, the entire test will reflect as Failed.
Click the Details
tab at the bottom of the Log.
You can expand the
test cases to see the steps and exactly which Verification point failed.
You can also right
click on a failed verification point and click properties to see the failure
details.

After reviewing
the test results, click the Test case Results tab at the bottom of the Log.
We can now promote
the results for reporting. To do this check the Promoted check boxes.
Close the Test
Log, and when prompted to save the test case results, select Yes.

several predefined reports that can be run to keep track of testing progress
