Record Test Scenarios from Code Debug

When debugging a COBOL Batch or CICS Program using the Code Debug, Total Test provides a context menu ( Record Test Case...) to automatically generate test case(s) from the debugging session for Non-virtualized test and/or Virtualized Test. The Total Test (Non-virtualized Test) scenarios are only created if the Total Test Repository exists for your installation and its URL has been set in Window > Preferences > BMC > Total Test > Repository Server.

Record Test Case eliminates creating the following elements manually:

• Non-virtualized test:
  • Test Scenario
• Virtualized Test:
  • Interface
  • Structures
  • Test Scenario
  • Test Case
  • Stubs (optional)
  • Suite (optional)

Starting the Record Test Case dialog box

You can start the recording of a test case in 2 ways:

• From the Opening-Total-Test-Perspective
  This option allows you to start the dialog box without having to switch to perspectives and is described in Starting-the-Record-Test-Case-dialog-box.
• From the Record-Test-Cases-from-a-Code-Debug-Eclipse-Debugging-Session
  This option allows developers to record a test case while in a Code Debug session as described in this topic.
