Using Filters

The JavaTest harness provides a special filtering facility that allows you to filter both the folders and tests displayed by the test tree and the test results printed in the reports. See Generating New Reports for a description of using the filters when generating reports.

The Test Tree View Filter dialog box

To select the status of the folders and tests displayed by the test tree, either choose View > Filters from the menu bar or select a view filter from the list at the bottom of the test tree.

Selecting a view filter only filters the status (the colors and counters of the folders and their tests) displayed in the Test Manager window, not the tests that are run. You must use the configuration editor to specify the tests that are run.

The JavaTest harness provides three filters:

Edit the Custom filter by choosing View > Configure Filters and using the Filter Editor. See Custom Filter for a description of how to edit the custom filter.

Additional filters, such as certification filters, can also be added to the list by the test suite. Refer to your test suite documentation for detailed descriptions of any additional filters displayed in the list of view filters.
