In this procedure, you perform integration and acceptance testing of the QuickFacts
package. The Test package task runs Test Expert, which generates a master test plan
based on the contents of a package and guides you through the execution of various test
cases. This makes the testing process more efficient and focused, eliminating the
random approach often used in an ad hoc testing environment. Test Expert performs
analysis on .MSI-based installations only.
Before you follow this procedure, you must have validated the package.
See Validate the Package
Note
Under normal testing conditions, Test Expert requires a clean machine to ensure the
integrity of the repackaged installation.
To test the package with Test Expert
1. Use Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel to uninstall the copy of QuickFacts
that you installed during the first part of this tutorial.
You uninstall because during this procedure, you install and test the repackaged
version of QuickFacts. Removing the original QuickFacts ensures that you test only
the repackaged installation.
2. Make sure you are in Wise Package Studio with the Projects tab selected and
QuickFacts selected in the Active Project drop-down list.
3. Close all applications other than Wise Package Studio, including background
applications that might create or change files on the computer.
4. Click the Run link next to the Test package task.
Dialog boxes appear briefly and the package is recompiled. The Test Expert window
appears, with QuickFacts.msi opened.
Note
If Test Expert does not open, it means you don't have the Quality Assurance
module. Test the package without Test Expert.
See Test the Package Without Test Expert
When you open a package in Test Expert, the Master Test Plan for that package is
displayed. Each time you open the package, the package is read and test cases are
generated based on the contents of the package. In addition to the Master Test Plan,
you can add user-defined test cases to fully test the package for the requirements of
your organization. In this tutorial, you perform only two of the test cases provided in
the Master Test Plan.
5. In the Installation Tests section in the left pane, select the Verify Installation test
case.
