Test List Dialog Box
When you open the Arbortext Publishing Engine Test Utility, the Test List dialog box displays. Use this dialog box to open an existing test file or create a new test.
The Test List dialog box offers the following options:
• Test — Indicates the order of the tests in the selected file. The tests are run in ascending order, starting with test 0. When you create a new test, it is inserted before the currently selected test, or appended if there are no tests selected.
• Status — Indicates the status of the test. If the test has not been run, this field is empty. If the test has been run, its Status field contains an E or an R.
E indicates errors were detected. Click View Errors to display the error messages.
R indicates the test ran successfully. Click View Results to display the results.
• Type — Indicates the type of test. Valid types are ACL, Java, JavaScript, and Convert.
• Method — Indicates whether the test uses an HTTP GET or HTTP POST command.
• Description — Displays the value of the first query parameter for Java, JavaScript, and ACL tests. For Convert tests, this field displays the path and file name of the POST or GET input file.

If you create a Convert test and specify a zip archive as the input file, the test can only be run against the Arbortext PE server. (Refer to To test a Java application in stand-alone mode in Example of Creating and Running a Test for instructions.) Running this test using the embedded server produces an error. |
The buttons on the Test List dialog box are described as follows:
• Run Test — Runs the selected tests. If you select one test and errors were detected, the Error window displays. If the test ran successfully, the Results window displays.
If you selected multiple tests (CTRL+click), an E or R displays in a test's Status field.
E indicates errors were detected. Click View Errors to display the error messages.
R indicates the test ran successfully. Click View Results to display the results.
• View Results — Opens the Results window if the selected test has an R in its Status field.
• Validate Tests — Validates the HTTP request syntax for the selected tests. It does not check the validity of the applications being tested.
If you select one test and errors were detected, the Error window displays.
If you selected multiple tests (CTRL+click), and errors were detected, an E displays in a test's Status field. Select a specific test, and click View Errors to display the error messages.
• View Errors — Opens the Error window if the selected test has an E in its Status field.
• Run All — Runs all tests in the list, and displays an E or an R in a test's Status field.
E indicates errors were detected. Click View Errors to display the error messages.
R indicates the test ran successfully. Click View Results to display the results.
• Validate All — Validates the HTTP request syntax for all the tests in the list. It does not check the validity of the applications being tested.
If errors were detected, an E displays in a test's Status field. Select a specific test, and click View Errors to display the error messages.
• New Test — Opens the Test Type dialog box, from which you can choose the type of test you want to create.
• Edit Test — Opens the appropriate test editor for the test selected in the list. For example, the ACL Test Editor displays if you select an ACL test from the test list.
• Delete Test — Deletes the selected tests.
