In the JavaTest harness GUI, you can use the Run Tests menu or the Test Manager toolbar to start a test run of the tests specified in your current configuration. See Test Manager Window for a description of the Run Tests menu and the Test Manager toolbar. See Configuring a Test Run for a description of how to use the Configuration Editor to specify configuration information used to run tests.
You can also use the test tree pop-up menu to start a test run of one or more tests selected from the test tree. See Test Tree Pop-up Menu for a description of how to use the test tree pop-up menu to run individual tests in a test tree.
If you do not want to use the JavaTest harness GUI to run tests, you can use the command line. See Command-Line Overview in the JavaTest Harness User's Guide: Command-Line Interface for information about running tests from the command line.
The JavaTest harness saves all test results after running tests but does not automatically generate reports of test results. You must generate test reports from the Test Manager window or from the command line. See Generating and Viewing Reports for detailed information about reports.
If you are using the All Tests view filter and begin a test run, the JavaTest harness displays an advisory dialog box. Using the All Test view filter displays the results of all tests in a test suite regardless of whether or not they are included in the test run.
You can choose to disable the dialog box by setting JavaTest harness Preferences, by choosing a different view filter, or by using the check box in the dialog to stop the dialog from being displayed in the future.
