The 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.
The dialog displays two views. The Recently Executedview shows results of the
recently executed test scripts which have been stored in the
memory
since the application start. The XML
Files tab allows to open a view results stored to an
XML file
through the Report
command calls or one of the report()
methods in the Java Test Script API.
The 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).
The Load
an XML button allows lo load an XML result file
(report) and
display it in the XML Files view.
The Export
button leads to the Export
Results to T-Plan window and exports the selected results
to the
T-Plan Professional database.
The Save/Save
As button saves the selected
result set to a file.
The 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.
The Pop
up flag controls whether the window opens
automatically after a
script finishes (and produces a new result set) Any change to
this preference is saved persistently to the user configuration.
The 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.
The Delete
All clears the view and permanently erases all
displayed results
from the memory. Results stored to an XML file are not affected
by this
operation and may be reopened in the XML
Files view any time.
The Preferences
button opens the Preferences
window
with settings which control appearance of this window.
The Close closes
the
window.
The XML Files view is
similar
save that the Delete and Delete All buttons have
different
functionality:
When the top level script node is selected the Delete
button is labeled Close File
and it removes the selected XML result set from the view. For
any other
node the button is labeled Delete
and deletes the selected object/objects from the result set in
memory. To apply these changes persistently to the appropriate
XML one
has to save the result set through the Save/Save
As button.
The Close All button
removes all displayed XML result sets displayed by this
view.
