Using View Filters

The JavaTest harness provides a special view filtering facility that enables you to filter the status (the colors and counters) of the folders and tests displayed in the Test Manager window. View filters function independently from the run filtering set in the configuration editor window.

See Changing Configuration Values for detailed information about specifying the tests that are run.

The following text is a note
You also use view filters when generating reports. See Creating New Reports for a description of using view filters when generating reports.

The JavaTest harness provides four Test Manager view filters:

An additional view filter, such as a Certification filter, can be added by the test suite. Refer to your test suite documentation for detailed descriptions of any additional filters displayed in the list of view filters.

To use a view filter, either choose View -> Filters from the menu bar or choose a view filter from the toolbar. See Custom View Filter for a description of how to create a custom view filter.

Current view filter information is saved when you exit if you checked the Save Desktop State on Exit option in the Preferences dialog box.

Current view filter information is not saved if you unchecked the Save Desktop State on Exit option in the Preferences dialog box, provide test suite or work directory information on the command line when starting the JavaTest harness, or use the -newDesktop option when starting the JavaTest harness.
