Isolated Files Test Case - Symantec WISE PACKAGE STUDIO 8.0 - REFERENCE V1.0 Reference

Wise Package Studio Reference
time, the test items for every test case in the Application Execution Tests group are
updated simultaneously.
Before you run this test, close all applications other than Wise Package Studio and Test
Expert, including all background applications and services that might access files or
registry entries on the testing computer.
Initially, when you select this test case, you see a list of all files installed by the
application. Each has the status of Pending. In the Test Expert window, accessed files
are given the status of Passed.
Because a file was not accessed does not necessarily mean that the test failed.
Example: The package might install sample files in a Samples directory, which is not
accessed unless the end user opens them. Or perhaps a file is only accessed under very
specific circumstances, and you have not duplicated those circumstances with your
testing. Use your own judgement in setting the statuses of files that are not accessed
during installation.
The Application Monitor window shows the percentage of installed files accessed.
Example: If the package installs 100 files, and during execution 90 of those files are
accessed, the File Coverage graph shows 90%.

Isolated Files Test Case

Quality Assurance module only.
If Test Expert detects file extensions in a package, the Isolated Files test case appears.
It monitors the testing computer as you exercise the features of the application. It then
records what isolated files are accessed during application execution. Because all
application execution tests are run at the same time, the test items for every test case
in the Application Execution Tests group are updated simultaneously.
Before you run this test, close all applications other than Wise Package Studio and Test
Expert, including all background applications and services that might access files or
registry entries on the testing computer.
Initially, when you select this test case, you see a list of all isolated files installed by the
application. Each has the status of Pending. As you run the application, isolated files that
are accessed are given the status of Passed.
During this test, you check how the application accesses the isolated file. When a .DLL is
isolated with an .EXE, the .DLL is stored in the application directory instead of the
system directory. The desired behavior of isolated files is that the isolated copy should
be accessed, and the copy in the system directory should not be accessed.
The Application Monitor window does not display a graph for isolated files.
