Step 4: Execute Test

For test execution: 

  • All required specifications are collected, and transferred to the target platform. Then a job will be created based on the selected JCL template and submitted to the target platform.
  • After the execution of the job has finished, the result data are transferred back, get analyzed.
  • Finally, a result report is created and displayed.

To execute the test, follow the steps outlined in Execute Test Scenarios (or Run Test Dialog if you selected to use the classic Virtualized Test Run Test dialog).

The test will be run, then, after it has finished, the Result Report will be displayed.

Important

By default, the test runs in background. To see the Progress view, from the menu select Window > Preferences > General, then untick the option Always run in background and click Apply.

The Virtualized Test Result-Report offers two different views:

  • Overview Displays the results reported for the test suite, all test scenarios, and all test cases within the scenarios. For each test case, all check conditions and their results are listed.
    In addition to that, miscellaneous data about the run environment are displayed.
  • Details
    Displays all data in the parameter structures before and after the execution of the target in each test case. This detail view is intended for problem analysis.

The Problems tab is only included if the Test Suite/Scenario Run produced a failure or an error.
