Deployment Testing

Checking ODBC Drivers

The ODBC Drivers Deployment Test is run to verify ODBC Drivers.

To check ODBC drivers:

Create or open a QualityMonitor project. The QualityMonitor Product Information View opens.

Expand the Deployment Tests node and select ODBC Drivers from the View List. A list of drivers in that

application appears in the lower portion of the ODBC Drivers View. Only those drivers that belong to the

current logged-in user are listed.

Select the Test Item you want to run and click Run. You can also select multiple Test Items to run, or click Run

All to run all available Test Items.

For certain ODBC drivers, additional connection information is required for verification. When the tests are run

in Full user interface mode, additional dialog boxes may be displayed during the test to take more input.

However, when the tests are run in Silent user interface mode, these additional dialog boxes will not be

displayed and results will be based on default information.

When testing is finished, results are recorded in the Test Case Progress area.

When a Test Item is failed, you can view details about it, including the error message associated with it on

the Test Item Information dialog box. To access this dialog box select the Test Item and then select Test Item

Information from the context menu.

When a deployment test is run on a package, some of the tests related to Class IDs, Prog IDs, and Type Library IDs

fail because they refer to components which belong to the operating system rather than the software which is

being tested. These errors have no impact on the integrity of the software being tested, and cause confusion

among some users testing the software. Users need to be able to prevent error messages caused by files that are

not affecting the performance of the software package to be listed in the test results.

To prevent these operating systems errors from being reported, you can specify a list of files to be excluded when

any of the Class ID, Prog ID, or Type Library ID Deployment tests are run. You can maintain a different list for each

of these three Deployment Tests.

After a Deployment Test has been run, the test results are listed in the

View. The items included in the exclusion lists are not shown in these views, but are still stored in the

QualityMonitor Project File (

against the exclusion list before being displayed in the

). When this project file is opened again in QualityMonitor, the results are checked
