Definition of results
file
A results file provides information about the execution of the testcase, script,
suite, or testplan. By default, the results file has the same name as the
executed script, suite, or testplan, but with a .res extension (for example,
find.res).
To change the default name and directory of the results file, edit the Runtime
Options dialog. For more information, see "Options/Runtime..." on page 484.
Overall summary
By default, the results file displays an overall summary at the top of the file,
including the name of the script, suite, or testplan; the machine the tests were
run on; the number of tests run; the number of errors and warnings; actual
errors; and timing information. The overall summary for find.t is shown in
the preceding figure.
Procedure To hide the overall summary, click on the summary and select
Results/Hide Summary. (You can change the default behavior by deselecting
the Show Overall Summary check box in the Runtime Options dialog. See
page 484.)
Individual test
summary
You can see a summary for an individual test in a results file.
For a script or suite results file, the individual test summaries contain timing
information and errors or warnings. For a testplan results file, the individual
test summaries contain the same information as in the overall summary plus
the name of the testcase and script file.
Procedure To see an individual summary:
1
Click on a testcase line in a suite or script results file, or click on a test
description in a testplan results file.
2
Select Results/Show Summary.
The following figure shows the individual summary for a test in a
testplan results file.
