The JavaTest GUI provides two types of menus for you to use when performing tasks:
Tool | Menus only available for use in a specific window. These menus are described in the help section for each window. |
Global | Menus available for use in all JavaTest windows. The global menus include: |
Use the File menu to open files, set user preferences, close windows, and exit from the JavaTest harness. The contents of the File menu change depending on the context of the desktop. The JavaTest harness only enables menus when they can be used.
Open Test Suite |
Opens a file chooser dialog box you can use to choose a test suite.
When you choose a test suite, the JavaTest harness loads the test suite in an empty Test Manager window. |
Open Work Directory |
Opens a file chooser dialog box you can use to choose an existing work directory.
The JavaTest harness associates the work directory with an open test suite if the test suite is both a match and has no other work directory already open. If the JavaTest harness cannot associate the work directory with an open test suite, it opens a new Test Manager window and loads both the work directory and its associated test suite. |
Create Work Directory |
Opens a file chooser dialog box for you to use in creating a new work directory for the current test suite.
When you create a work directory, the JavaTest harness associates it with the current test suite. Each work directory is associated with a specific test suite and stores its test result files in a cache. The test result files contain all of the information gathered by the JavaTest harness during test runs. |
Preferences | Opens the JavaTest Preferences dialog box for you to set the display and functional options of the JavaTest harness. |
File History |
Displays a list of work directories and test suites that have been opened.
Choose a file from the list to open a new instance of it in the current session. |
Close | Closes the current window without exiting from the JavaTest harness. |
Exit | Exits from the JavaTest harness. When you exit, your current desktop is saved so that all open windows can be restored in your next JavaTest session. |
Use the Tasks menu to open the windows required to perform specific tasks.
Monitor Agent Activity |
Opens a new Agent Monitor window for you to:
|
Use the Windows menu to manage the layout of the open windows and to select the active window. You can click a window listed in the menu to make it the active window.
In MDI and SDI window styles, the JavaTest harness provides two methods of managing the desktop:
Tile | Arranges the open windows edge-to-edge in a tiled pattern. |
Cascade | Arranges the open windows so that their top left corners form a cascading pattern from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of the desktop. |
Use the Help menu to open online help and to display information about the JavaTest harness, the test suite, or the current Java runtime.
Help | Opens the help viewer. |
About JavaTest | Displays information about this release of the JavaTest harness. |
About Java | Displays information about the Java runtime used to run the JavaTest harness. |
