Batch mode is used to automatically execute tests without starting the JavaTest GUI. By running tests in batch mode you can include the JavaTest harness as a part of a product build process.
Before running a JavaTest 3.0 test suite in batch mode, you must use the JavaTest Configuration Editor to prepare the configuration file. The JavaTest harness uses the interview file (.jti
) created by the configuration editor to run a test suite.
The use of parameter files and the -params
command-line option are deprecated in the JavaTest 3.x harness. However, if you are running an older test suite designed to use parameter (.jtp
) files, you can continue using the -params
command-line option to specify individual parameters used in the test run.
See -params
param-options for more information about using command-line options to specify parameters.
To run the JavaTest harness in batch mode, use the -batch
option in the command line:
java -jar javatest.jar -batch
[options]
See Command-Line Options for more information about the options that can be included in the -batch
command.
