Overview
This article describes the interface for the Test Runner. The Test Runner allows you to set up automated testing that will execute a set of Tests on a one-off or scheduled basis. Test Runner configurations are stored as Dynamics records and are edited via a specially adapted form.
Test Runner tab
The Test Runner tab provides a hierarchical view of Tests grouped by Test Plan and Test Suite names. The selected Tests are added to the Test Runner and will be executed whenever the Test Runner is triggered. Tests can be added by selecting the individual Test names or by selecting the Test Suite or Test Plan group headers.
After a Test has executed you can select from the drop down to view the results of test runs. The results will show how many Tests and Test Steps were executed and the number of pass or failures.
Test Runner Results tab
Shows a list of all the Test Results that are generated as a result of executing the Test Runner.
Schedule Settings tab
The Schedule Settings tab is closed by default. Expand the tab to change the high-level configuration options for the Test Runner.
