Use the Progress Monitor

Choose Run Tests > Monitor Progress from the Test Manager menu bar or click the Progress Monitor button icon in the test progress display located at the bottom of the Test Manager window to open the Progress Monitor.

The Progress Monitor dialog box

The following information is displayed:

Information displayed in the Progress Monitor only applies to the current configuration and is not altered by view filter settings. The Progress Monitor only displays information when the harness is running tests.

Progress

The Progress area contains the following information:
Name Description
Passed Displays the number of tests in the test suite that were run and had passing results
Failed Displays the number of tests in the test suite that were run and had failing results
Errors Displays the number of tests in the test suite could not be run
Not Run Displays the number of tests in the test suite have not yet been run
Test Results A colored progress bar representing the results of the tests in the test suite

As tests are completed, they are displayed as colored segments in the progress bar. The colors used in the progress bar represent the current status of the tests. The progress bar is the same as that displayed in the test progress display at the bottom of the Test Manager window.

Colors used in the progress bar are displayed from left to right in the following order:

Color Status Description
Green Passed Tests in the test run having passing results when they were executed.
Red Failed Tests in the test run having failed results when they were executed.
Blue Error Tests in the test run that the JavaTest harness could not execute.

Errors usually occur because the test environment is not properly configured.

White Not yet run Tests in the test run that the JavaTest harness has not yet executed. Tests excluded from the test run are not included.

You can display the progress bar in the test progress display by clicking the Test Progress display drop-down list button and then choosing Run Progress Meter from the selectable list. See Use the Test Progress Display for detailed description.

Time

The Time area contains two fields that are continuously updated throughout a test run:

Name Description
Elapsed: The actual elapsed time from the start of the test run
Remaining: The estimated time required to run the remaining tests.

Tests that timeout or have execution times significantly longer than the other tests being run can cause the JavaTest harness to display inaccurate times.

Memory

The Memory area contains two text fields and a bar graph.

Name Description
Used: The memory used to run the test
Total: The total memory available for use by the Java virtual machine

Tests in Progress

The Tests in Progress text box displays the names of the tests that the JavaTest harness is currently running. It is empty when the JavaTest harness is not running tests. Concurrency settings and/or agents in use determine the number of items displayed in the text box.

You can click on this list to display the appropriate test view in the Test Manager window.
