Creating a test-set using Mercury Multi-Test Manager.

Configuring The Mercury Multi-Test Manager.


Creating a Test-Set Using Test Batch Runner Up till now we have 3 tests, in our Tests

Folder. We will create a Test-Set for all the tests. As we continue working on project we will

keep adding new tests to our existing test-sets.

For this purpose we will use the Multi-Test Manager.

Those who are using Quality Center can skip this presentation.

Before You Run the Batch…

You can increase the capability of the tool by modifying some properties.

MTM can generate test reports after running test batch. For this purpose create a new folder call ‘REP’ ( Reports ) in \Automation\FR\REP

Select Preferences. Menu : File Preferences Toolbar

Preferences


Run Tab

You can run on a localhost or remote machine.

You can perform a scheduled run.

Stop test run on failure. Run scripts

continuously. Close the properties

dialog.


Report Tab Select "Create Multi-Test

Manager Report". Select "View Report After

Batch Run.“. Unselect the "Use Default

Location" option. Select the "Specify Location". Select the REP folder under

FR\REP to specify the report location.

Click on "Add..." button and enter following details: Report Name Project Name Value FR Select REP Folder


Mail Tab - eMail Account Dialog You can send email

notifications Enter your email

account.


Mail Tab

You can define, when an email will be sent.

It can be sent to a list or a particular person from your outlook address book.

It can include a custom subject and message.


Script Properties

Select the first test in the list. Select script properties

Menu : Batch Script Properties Toolbar :

Multi Test Manager

Result Folder


Excellent tool…with few limitations1. You cannot send arguments to the test.2. You have to modify the scripts result folder one-by-one.3. Cannot view the reports and status all at once.4. Cannot modify the Report name manually from the tool.

( I usually use the test-set name + Date + Time )5. Cannot run instances of the same test.6. The MTM also has a COM interface ( read attached

documentation of the MTM ), most of the limitations can be "workaround" using the MTM methods and properties.


MTM File opened by NotepadYou can open the LoginRegression.mtm file located under

FR\Batch using notepad.


Running an mtm File.

Run the mtm file. Menu : Batch Run Hotkey : Ctrl + R Toolbar

Run


Run End


Report


Comparing TBR and MTM

Both tools Run the Test Batch File. However MTM gives much more flexibility to the user by

generating the report of the test-batch showing the status summary in html format.

Also gives flexibility on types of run ( stop on failure, Run continuously ) also simulates a load, by running tests on a network machine, let user add custom variables to report and more.

Makes task easier for a team to run all tests created by single command and sends out the email of run-status to the entire team.

It supports a rich COM interface. Remark : To run tests on network machine QTP must be

installed on that network machine.


Summary

We learned how to run test-sets using 2 built-in tools of QTP although MTM will come with 9.5 version.

Using the “Test Batch Runner” Using the “Multi Test Manager” Configuring the “Multi Test Manager”. Those tools are a good option for those

who doesn’t use Quality Center.


What’s Next?

Implementing Req0004 Using The Global Dictionary. Using Loops. Inserting a call to a “copy” of an existing

action. Deleting an existing action.
