The goal of a test run is for all tests in the test suite that are not filtered out to have passing results. If the root test suite folder contains tests with errors or failing results, you must troubleshoot and correct the cause to satisfactorily complete the test run.
Tests with errors could not be executed by JavaTest. These errors usually occur because the test environment is not properly configured.
Tests that fail were executed but had failing results.
The Test Manager window provides you with the following tools for effectively troubleshooting a test run:
Use the test tree to identify specific folders and tests that had errors or failing results.
Click a folder in the tree to display its tabbed pane.
Choose the Error and the Failed panes to view the lists of all tests in and under a folder that were not successfully run. You can double-click a test in the lists to view its test information.
To display information about a test, click its icon in the test tree or double-click its name in a folder status pane. The tabbed pane contains detailed information about the test run and, at the bottom of the pane, a brief status message identifying the type of failure or error. This message may be sufficient for you to identify the cause of the error or failure.
If you need more information to identify the cause of the error or failure, use the following panes listed in order of importance:
