Using Exclude Lists

Exclude list files contain a list of tests in a test suite that are not run by the JavaTest harness. You can use the Exclude Lists pane in the Standard Values view to specify one or more exclude list files.

The Exclude List pane from the Configuration Editor: Standard Values view

Use the following to specify the exclude list option used to run tests:

If a complete test is added to the exclude list, the JavaTest harness updates the test result status without requiring that the test be rerun. However, if only a test case from a test is added to the exclude list, the JavaTest harness requires that you rerun the test using the updated exclude list before it updates the test result status.
