Test Explorer

Overview

Test Explorer is a panel that shows information relevant to test automation. You can use Test Explorer and its sub-panels to group tests together, perform debugging, or analyze activity coverage.

Within a Process project, both test cases and workflows are shown by default, whereas within a Test Automation project, the Test Explorer panel shows, by default, only test cases . For example, if you have a data-driven test case, it shows up collapsed by default, with the number of variations placed under parentheses (e.g., TestCaseValues (6)).


Prerequisites

  • Studio version 2021.10.1+
  • Testing activities v1.4.3+

Conditions

  • The Test Explorer displays the first 100 test cases from your Test Manager project. You can't search beyond these initial 100 test cases.
  • Test Explorer results information is session-based. This means that if you close Studio the information shown in Test Explorer will be cleared.
  • The test cases are listed in Test Explorer based on an execution order.

Working With Test Explorer

To show only relevant information, you can use the Test Explorer toolbar to filter test results based on result state. Additionally, you can use multiple options to run the test cases again.



Test Explorer header

According to the image above, from left to right, you can take the following actions from the Test Explorer header:

  1. Run All test cases in View.
  2. Run or Debug test cases.
  3. Filter the panel based on passed test cases.
  4. Filter the panel based on failed test cases.
  5. Filter the panel based on not executed test cases.
  6. Filter the panel based on manual test cases.

For example, you can use the contextual menu to add, update, and remove test data on your test cases.
