Note:

When you run a test case, TestManager creates a temporary suite and actually

runs the suite. TestManager removes the suite after the run is completed.

When you click

, TestManager runs the test case as follows:

If you run a test case that has an automated implementation, it runs on the first
available computer in the list.

A configured test case runs only on computers that fully match the test case's
configuration. TestManager takes into account the values of that computer's
built-in configuration attributes and the values of the custom attributes specified
in the computer's

tmsconfig.csv

file. (For information about the

tmsconfig.csv

file, see

Setting Up Custom Attributes in tmsconfig.csv on page 44.)

For example, if the configured test case indicates that it should run on a computer
with Windows 2000, TestManager examines each computer in the Computers list
until it finds one that has Windows 2000 and then runs the test case
implementation on that computer. If no computers in the list match the
configuration, a message appears in the test log.

As the test case runs, you can monitor its progress and then view the results in the
test log. For information about monitoring progress, see Monitoring Test Runs on
page 132. For information about test logs, see About Test Logs on page 155.
