Welcome to my first blog post in the series “All About ET”. My blog posts are going to be short and sweet and practical, so will hopefully help any users of Enterprise Tester to find out how to work with the tool.

Any comments you have on these blogs are much appreciated, good or bad!  We would love to know how our customers use Enterprise Tester and as the QA Manager I can feed this information back into the development cycle (as quickly as the schedule allows!).

Anyway, onto my first post:

Mid Test Execution Issues - How many times have you been bang in the middle of test execution and then found details in your test scripts that aren’t quite right? More than I can count in my experience! Sometimes things are more fluid than we like them to be but that’s the way testing often is…

Using Enterprise Tester as a Test Management Tool - You can be in the middle of test execution and easily update your source test scripts without interrupting your test execution flow.

 From the Test Execution Screen

• Click the link in the header bar as circled below.

• Update your test script details or steps as required and click ‘Save & Close’.

• You will now be taken back to your test execution screen. 

The steps aren’t updated just yet, but once you complete this run (e.g Pass All) then click complete and start new run you will see your newly added steps.

• From here you can carry on testing with your updated test scripts.

Tip! If you completed a test run (as per above) and it has the incorrect status, you can delete the test run by right clicking your test script in the explorer tree and selecting Run History.  From the Run History window you can delete test runs as required.
