Lesson 3 · Running and Analyzing Tests

Initially, the Test Results window contains two panes for displaying the key
elements of your test run.

The left pane displays the results tree, an icon-based view of the steps

that were performed while the test was running. The results tree is
organized according to the Web pages visited during the test run and can
be expanded (+) to view each step. The steps performed during the test
run are represented by icons in the tree. You can instruct QuickTest to
run a test or action more than once using different sets of data in each
run. Each test run is called an iteration, and each iteration is numbered.
(The test you ran had only one iteration.)

The right pane displays the test results details. The iteration summary

table indicates which iterations passed and which failed. The status
summary table indicates the number of checkpoints or reports that
passed, failed, and raised warnings during the test.

Your test run succeeded because QuickTest was able to navigate the Mercury
Tours site just as the test was originally recorded. In this section, you will
inspect the steps QuickTest performed when running your test, and how the
application window appeared when a step was performed.
