This option of the TAST tool allows the user to execute the Test Sets. Also, it allows to create new Test Sets to be executed.

With this option the Test Sets corresponding to a specific diagram can be managed. The RUNNING option has two tabs:

• Test Sets.
• Test Set.

It shows the list of Test Sets of a specific domain and project, with information about its status, as well as its Test Case Datasets. In general, it can be filtered by:

• Domain.
• Project.
• Test set.
• User.

It will also allow creating, editing and deleting a folder.

In the main window of MANAGEMENT OF TEST SETS, the list of Test Case Sets for the filters used will be displayed, with the following information:

• Date and time of creation.
• Number of diagrams.
• Number of data sets of test cases (TCD).
• Status: EXECUTED or NOT EXECUTED.
• Uploaded to ALM: YES or NO.
• Action: with the following indicators:
  • Owner.
  • Delete Test Set.
  • Run Test Set.

It is accessed by clicking on any Test Set in the Test Sets window. In this window you can perform actions on the Test Sets, as well as manage the Test Case Data associated with the Test Set:

• At the Test Set level:
  • Create a Test Set.
  • Run a Test Set.
  • Upload the Test Set to ALM: all steps of the set of test cases will be added to the tool ALM (Application Lifecycle Management).
• At the Test Case Data level:
  • Add a Test Case Data.
  • Delete a Test Case Data.
  • Select / unselect the screenshots of the Test Case Data (of some Test Case Data or of all).

The list of all the Test Case Data corresponding to the Test Set on which it has been previously clicked will be displayed, with the following information:

• Order.
• Domain.
• Project.
• Folder.
• Name of the diagram.
• Type of Test Case Data (validation or value).
• Result: Executed or Not executed.
• Uploaded or not to ALM.
• Action: with the following indicators:
  • Capture of the screenshots of the test case.
  • Scroll up or down the Test Case Data.
  • Delete Test Case Data.

To include Test Case Data in the Test Set, press button ”+” at the right of the Test Set name. A new window will open and will allow to select the Diagram, so that all available and selectable Test Case Data will be shown in the left-hand list.

• Clicking over eachTest Case Data or “Select all” button will move the Test Case Data to the right-hand list.
• The Test Case Data on the right-hand listwill show a “check/minus” button to show if the capture of evidences is active for that Test Case Data. We can alter the status by clicking on that button. There is a general button on top of the list to alter the status of all the elements at once.
• Clicking on any Test Case Data on the right we will move it to the left if it belongs to the selected diagram, or will dissapear if it doesn´t.
• All Test Case Data on the right-hand list will be loaded to the Test Set once we click over the “Accept” button of the screen.

To facilitate the execution of validation test cases, in TAST there is the possibility of executing them in debug mode (from the client).

This means that the user can choose if the execution is going to be done until a specific step, and then to decide whether to continue the execution of all the steps until the end of the test case, or if it is executed step by step.

Once logged in the TAST client, a window similar to the following will open:

As an example, we will start with the validation test case 'tcv__Adaptador-GUI_HTML_Simple', which consists of 6 steps:

a) If you want the complete execution of the test case, you will click on the green 'play' button:

And once executed the 6 steps, the client will display the result of execution:

b) If you want the execution till a specific step (not inclusive) (eg, the number 5):

• enter the step number till the execution must be stopped in the field 'Step'
• click on the green 'play' button:

And, as in case a), once the execution of the steps has been completed, the client will show the result of the execution, appearing in the column 'Status' the last step executed:

c) If you want the execution of the test case till a specific step (not inclusive) (eg, number 5), and from there step by step until the end:

• enter the step number till the execution must be stopped in the field 'Step'
• click on the green 'play' button
• click on the Debug green button, and the step will increase by 1 in 1:

In TAST it is possible to schedule the Test Sets to be executed later. These plannings can be periodic.

The PLANNING option has two tabs:

• Calendar
• Plan List

In this Running option, you can see a calendar with the status of the existing plans for a Domain, Project, and, optionally, for a Specific Server:

Below the meaning of the colored circles that appear in calendar days:

number of plannings requested. This is the initial status, when a planning is created
number of plannings confirmed. The planning is put confirmed when the user clicks the Confirm button that appears when editing the planned Test Set (tab Plan List)
number of plannings rejected. The user has the option to reject the planning for different reasons (clicking the Reject button that appears when editing the planned Test Set (tab Plan List)
number of plannings executed. This status appears once the planning has been executed.

The steps to follow until the execution of the planned test cases are:

1. Include the diagram (s) in a Test Set: through the TAST option TS Management
2. Include the Test Set in a planning: through the New planification buttom of Planning
3. Confirm the planning

Once the Test Set has been executed, the result of the execution will be shown in the table of Results.

If the Test Set has not been executed, it will be canceled.
