Result Manager keeps track of
results produced by test scripts since the application start.
When T-Plan Robot Enterprise gets restarted, all results are cleared from the
memory. To store the result data persistently either export it to
T-Plan Professional database or store it to to an XML file through a
call of the Report
command or manually using the Save/Resave
button of this window.
To
open the window select Tools
-> Result Manager in the main GUI menu. The window also by
default pops up automatically whenever a script
finishes execution and produces test results. This behavior can be
switched off by the (7) check box. The window may be also opened in a
standalone manner (independently from the main GUI) through the -m/--resultmanagerCLI option for scripts executed in
the CLI mode.
Result tree shows a
tree-like structure of results available in memory. Each top level node
corresponds to a single previously executed test scripts The node is
typically named by the script file
name (or "Untitled"
for scripts in untitled editors) and its icon reflects whether the
script failed or passed. If the script calls the Report command to store the result
data to a file, the node also shows the result (report) file name.
Lower
level nodes in the tree represent objects created in the script body
such as screen shots (through
the Screenshot command),
scripts (Script), steps (Step), timers (Timer) and warnings (Warning).
Delete
All clears the view and permanently erases all displayed results
from the memory. Results stored to a file are not affected by this
operation but they can not be viewed through this window any more (only
externally through a web browser or other application able to display
XML).
Delete
button deletes the selected object/objects from the result set in
memory. This allows to purge
whole result sets as well as to remove particular objects (screen
shots, step results, ...) from a result set before saving it or
exporting it to an external database (such as T-Plan Professional). As
the operation affects just the results stored in the memory, you will
have to use the Save/Resave button to save the changes
permanently to a file or the Export
button to save the changes to the database.
Export
button leads to the Export
Results to T-Plan window and exports the selected results to the
T-Plan Professional database.
Save or Resave button saves the selected
result set to a file. If the button is labeled Resave it indicates that the results
have been already saved to a file either through a call of the Report command or manually
through this button.
View
button opens the selected object for viewing. When a top level script
node is selected, the button opens the XML report in web browser. Lower
level nodes typically open an object property viewer or the application
associated in the OS with the particular object type. For example,
screen shot nodes open the image either in a web browser or in the
default image viewer.
Pop up
flag controls whether the window opens automatically after a
script finishes (and produces a new result set) or not. Anty change to
this preference is saved persistently to the user configuration.
Preferences
button opens the Preferences window
with settings which control appearance of this window.
