Using the Progress Monitor

The JavaTest harness displays the Test Manager: Progress Monitor dialog box when you choose Run Tests > Monitor Progress from the Test Manager menu bar or click the Progress Monitor button icon in the test status display.

The Progress Monitor dialog box

The following information is displayed:

The information in the dialog box is only for the current configuration and is not changed by the view filter settings. The dialog box only displays information when the harness is running tests.

Progress

The Progress area contains the following information:
Name Description
Passed Displays the number of tests in the test suite that were run and had passing results
Failed Displays the number of tests in the test suite that were run and had failing results
Errors Displays the number of tests in the test suite could not be run
Not Run Displays the number of tests in the test suite have not yet been run
Test Results A colored progress bar representing the results of the tests in the test suite

As tests are completed, they are displayed as colored segments in the progress bar. The colors used in the progress bar represent the current status of the tests. The progress bar is the same as that displayed at the bottom of the Test Manager window.

The colors used in the progress bar are displayed from left to right in the following order:

Color Status Description
Green Passed Tests that passed when they were executed
Red Failed Tests that failed when they were executed
Blue Error The JavaTest harness could not execute these tests.

Errors usually occur because the test environment is not properly configured.

White Not yet run Tests that have not yet been executed and are not excluded from the test run.

You can also display the progress bar in the test progress display by clicking the Test Progress display drop-down list button and then choosing Run Progress Meter from the selectable list. See Using the Test Progress Display for detailed description.

Time

The Time area contains two fields that are continuously updated throughout a test run:

Name Description
Elapsed: The actual elapsed time from the start of the test run
Remaining: The estimated time required to run the remaining tests.

These numbers can be adversely affected by tests that timeout or have execution times much longer relative to the the other tests being run.

Memory

The Memory area contains two text fields and a bar graph.

Name Description
Used: The memory used to run the test
Total: The total memory available for use by the Java virtual machine

Tests in Progress

The Tests in Progress text box displays the names of the tests that the JavaTest harness is currently running. The text box is empty when idle. The number of items displayed is directly affected by concurrency settings and /or agents.

You can click on this list to display the appropriate test view in the Test Manager window.
