Running Testcases
This chapter introduces Phase IV of the Testing Methodology, Running.
So far you have successfully created a testplan and recorded a testcase. Now
you are ready to run (also called execute) testcases that test the GMO
application.
In this chapter
This chapter contains the following sections:
Options for Running Testcases from a Testplan
When you run a testcase, SilkTest interacts with the application by executing
all the actions you specified in the testcase and testing whether all the
features of the application performed as expected.
The most basic approach to running a testcase is to run it from the script file
itself. However, running testcases from the script file only allows you to run a
single testcase or all testcases within the script. On the other hand, a SilkTest
testplan, allows you to do that plus it allows you to run only those testcases
that you have marked for execution.
