Getting Started

The JavaTest harness automates many of the steps required to configure test environments and parameters, making it as easy as possible for you to begin running tests.

Typically, the first time that you use the JavaTest harness, it automatically opens the test suite. Refer to Open Test Suite for a description of the menu used to open a different test suite.

To start a test run, in the Test Manager window choose:

The JavaTest harness checks the configuration of the test environment and parameters before beginning the test run.

If required information is missing, it uses dialog boxes and the Configuration Editor in an interactive sequence of steps to guide you through the process of configuring the test environment and setting test parameters.

For more information about how to run tests, see Running Tests.

For a general description of the JavaTest harness and its tools see JavaTest User Interfaces.
