Running a Suite from the Command Line
You can run a suite from the command line. For example, if you have a suite that takes
a long time to run, or if you want to run several suites sequentially, run them from the
command line.
The following syntax shows how to run a suite from the command line:
rtmanager.exe suitename /runsuite /user
userid
[/password
password
]
/project
.rsp-path
[/computers [Local]; [
computer-1; computer-2; ... computer-n
]
[/computerlists
computerlists
] /build
buildname
/logfolder
logfoldername
/log
logname
[/overwritelog] [/numusers
nnn
]
[/ignoreconfiguredtestcases] [/close]
If an argument value contains spaces, enclose it in quotation marks.
