Understanding Test Result Types

For WinRunner tests, you can view verification, debug, or expected results. For WinRunner components, you can view debug or expected results.

For verification results, only the test name is displayed in the Test Results titlebar. For debug results, [debug] is displayed next to the test or component name. For expected results, [exp] is displayed next to the test or component name.

When you open the Test Results window, the type of results that are displayed correspond to the run mode that is selected in the main WinRunner window when you select to open the results, if such results exist.

For example, if the currently selected test is set to Verify run mode, then when you open the Unified report view, the most recent verification results are displayed. If the currently selected component is set to Debug run mode, then the debug results are displayed.

If no results exist for your test or component that correspond to the run mode that is currently selected when you open the Unified report view, the Open Test Results dialog box opens over the Test Results window, enabling your to select other results to view.

Note: When working with components, you can view results of an individual component only by opening the Test Results window while the component is open in WinRunner. You cannot browse to results of an individual component using the Open Test Results dialog box. You can use the Open Test Results dialog box to browse for WinRunner test results or for results of a complete business process test.

For more information on run modes, refer to the WinRunner User's Guide.
