Specifying Tests to Run

You can use the Tests pane in the Standard Values view to specify which tests in a test suite are run.

Test Suite Areas pane from the Configuration Editor: Standard Values view

You can choose to run tests in one of the following:

If you choose Specify, you can use the test tree in the Tests pane to choose tests or folders containing groups of tests for the JavaTest harness to run. The JavaTest harness walks the test tree starting with the sub-branches and/or tests you specify and executes all tests that it finds (unless they are filtered out).

The following text is a Note
Restrictions are applied cumulatively. For example, you can specify the tests in a test suite, then restrict the set of tests using an exclude list, and then further restrict the set to only those tests that passed on a prior run.

If you choose a test folder, the JavaTest harness selects all tests in the test suite under that location for the test run.

If you choose one or more individual tests, the JavaTest harness selects those individual tests for the test run.

When a test or folder is highlighted, it indicates that it has been selected for the test run. You can make individual selections in the test tree by pressing the Control key when you click an icon or name in the test tree.

To select a series or sequence of tests or folders, press the Shift key and then click the first and the last icon or name in the sequence.

If a test folder is partially highlighted it indicates that you have selected some (but not all) of the tests beneath it.
