Build and run your first automated test

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create and run your first automated test. This test creates a new user record.

• The Automated Test Framework (com.glide.automated_testing_framework) plugin must be activated. It is activated by default on zBoot or upgrade.
• If necessary, enable test execution. For instructions, see Enable or disable executing Automated Test Framework tests.
  주:

  By default, the system property that is used to run automated tests is disabled to prevent you from accidentally running these tests on a production system. To avoid data corruption or an outage, run tests only on development, test, and other non-production instances.
