Running tests

complete.

• From within a test category, press Ctrl-Enter to automatically run only the selected tests in that category.
• Using the cursor movement keys, highlight a single test within a test category, and then press Enter.
This runs only that test.
Press Esc at any time to stop the testing process.
Test results (N/A, PASSED, FAILED, ABORTED) are displayed in the field beside the test description and in
the test log. See "Viewing the test log" on page 38.
To select one or more tests, use the following procedure.
1. Open the corresponding test category.
2. Using the cursor movement keys, highlight the desired test.
3. Press the space bar. A selected test is marked by >>. Pressing the space bar again de-selects a test
