Checking automated test status

Note:  The following steps only work if you have a script agent integrated with Helix ALM. See Configuring a script agent for automated testing.

You can view the status of running automated tests to check the progress or view results. For example, if you schedule tests to run at night, you can check the status in the morning.

Tip:  To view the status of all automated tests run from test cases or test runs, choose Activities > Check Test Script Status.

1. Click the Files tab in the test case or test run that contains the automated test.

2. Click the Scripts tab.

3. Select a test and click Check Status.

The Script File Status dialog box opens. Results you have not viewed for tests run from test cases or have not attached for tests run from test runs are displayed. The following information is displayed:

• ID—Test case number the automated test is running for.
• Script File—Automated test filename.
• Status—Automated test run status. See Understanding automated test status.
• Started—Date and time the automated test started running.
• Completed—Date and time the automated test completed.

4. Select a test and click View Results to view the results.

5. If you are checking results for a test run, select a test and click Attach Results to attach the results to the test run. See Attaching automated test results to test runs.

6. Select a test and click Delete to delete the results. You are prompted to confirm the deletion.

7. Click OK to close the Script File Status dialog box.

8. Click OK to save the changes.
