Shortcuts Test Case

Quality Assurance module only.
If Test Expert detects shortcuts in a package, the Shortcuts test case appears. This test
verifies that shortcuts in the installation are attached to a valid target file and that the
target opens when the shortcut is opened.
This test can be run only if the package being tested is currently installed.
To run the test case
1. Select the Shortcuts test case in the left pane of Test Expert.
All shortcuts installed by the package are listed.
2. Mark the check boxes of the shortcuts to test.
3. Click Execute.
The Test Case - Shortcuts dialog box appears, where you execute one test at a time.
4. Click the Execute button in the Test Case dialog box.
After a pause, the shortcut referenced by the test should open.
5. Close the program opened by the shortcut.
6. When the Pass/Fail dialog box appears:
a. Click Pass or Fail based on your visual verification of the test results.
b. In Comments, enter any pertinent information about the test case.
7. In the Test Case dialog box, continue to click Execute for each subsequent test case,
entering Pass/Fail results for each.
When the tests are finished, the dialog box closes and the statuses are displayed in
the Status column.
8. Select the overall status of the test case in Status of Test Case.
To troubleshoot failures
If a Shortcut test item fails for an .MSI, open the package in Windows Installer Editor
and check Installation Expert > Shortcuts page. View the details for the shortcut that
failed, particularly the command-line options that are displayed in Arguments.
