Custom Test Results Editor Dialog Box - Novell ADMINSTUDIO 9.5 User Manual

Custom Test Results Editor Dialog Box

The Custom Test Results Editor dialog box is used to manually add a test result message to a package. You
might want to do this if you tested the package using QualityMonitor, InstallShield, or another tool, and you noticed
something which is unexpected and which you want to document. Also, if a package failed during installation, you
might also want to document the error.
The Custom Test Results Editor dialog box is opened by selecting a node in the package tree, pointing to Ad
hoc Test Results and clicking Add on the context menu.
For example, suppose an error was encountered during installation, which caused installation failure, and you want
to document this error.
When adding a test result on the Custom Test Results Editor dialog box, enter the following information:

Description
Either enter a new name for a test category where you want to display this message, or
select an existing category from the list.
Note • You can only associate an ad-hoc test result with a test category you created, not one that
contains tests shipped with PackageExpert. Ad-hoc test results must always be stored in manually-
created categories. If a category has already been added, then it will be listed in the Category list.
You can create a new category by entering a category name in the Category box.
Either enter a new name for the test, or—if the same test has generated more than one
error—select an existing name from the list
Select Error, Warning, or Information to characterize the severity of this error.
Document the error that you discovered during ad-hoc testing. This information will be
displayed under Error Details in the right pane when this test result node is selected.
