Command-Line Interface
In most cases, command-line options perform functions that are also available through the GUI. However, there are several situations in which using command-line options are either uniquely useful or necessary.
You can use command-line options to:
-
Execute tests without starting the GUI
-
Set an environment variable that you want inherited in every test environment
-
Include all system properties in test execution environments
-
Create an observer to monitor the progress of a test run
-
Set the port number and timeout of the Active Agent pool
-
Start the Active Agent pool
-
Ignore the previous desktop configuration when starting the JavaTest GUI
-
Show the version of the JavaTest harness being run
-
Show command-line help
-
Use an HTTP server to monitor results
See Command-Line Options for detailed information about performing functions from the command line.
