Class IDs Test Case
Quality Assurance module only.
If Test Expert detects Class IDs in a package, the Class IDs test case appears. It checks
whether COM objects declared by a ClassID can be created (instantiated). This test
might expose problems such as missing .DLLs that are required by the ClassID to create
the object.
This test is run automatically by Test Expert and can be run only if the package being
tested is currently installed.
To run the test case
1. Select the Class IDs test case in the left pane of Test Expert.
All class IDs installed by the package are listed.
2. Mark the check boxes of the class IDs to test.
3. Click Execute.
Test Expert examines the class ID descriptions, tries to create class objects, and
marks each test item as either passed or failed.
When the tests are finished, the dialog box closes and the statuses are displayed in
the Status column.
4. Select the overall status of the test case in Status of Test Case.
To troubleshoot failures
To see the returned error, double-click an item and look in the Test Details field on the
Test Item Details dialog box.
Failed items indicate COM failures, which can happen for a variety of reasons, such as
missing self-registration information, incompatible or missing files, missing licence files
(.LIC), and search paths that are not valid. Make sure that .DLLs or .EXEs for the Class
ID exist, as well as any dependent .DLL files.
