    • If the test or test suite you are running contains steps that work with a form (any step involving a UI), or any other UI test step element (such as Automated Service Catalog test steps), the Pick a Browser dialog appears after you click Run Test or Run Test Suite. The dialog asks you to choose among any currently-running test clients or start a new test runner.

    Before you begin

    You must have created the test you want to run.

    The test execution property must be enabled. You must have an admin or atf_test_admin role to do so.
    Note:
    The test execution property is disabled by default to prevent running tests on a production system. Run tests only on development, test, and other sub-production instances.

    Role required: atf_test_admin, atf_test_designer, or admin

    Procedure

    1. Choose the browser in which the test or test suite should run or be rerun again in the case of failed tests.
      All registered client test runners that are currently active appear in the Pick a Browser dialog. (Current session) indicates that the browser is currently running. See Working with client test runners.
    2. Click Manage your test runners here as needed to view all client test runners registered for the current user.
      See Active manual test runners.
    3. If you want to open a client test runner in this browser session, click Start a new test runner, which appears when client test runners are only available in other browsers for the current user.
    4. Click the appropriate button to run the test.
      • If you are running a single test, click Run Test.
      • If you are running a test suite, click Run Test Suite.
      • If you are running failed tests again, click Re-run failed tests.

    Result

    The test, test suite or failed tests run in the selected browser or client test runner. The Progress viewer appears for monitoring of the progress of the test run.
