Run Testcase Dialog Box

Use the Run Testcase dialog box to run or debug a test case accessible from the active script file. This dialog box is only available when the active window contains either a test case or a results file in which the current line is a test case or a data-driven test case. Data-driven test cases begin with "DD_". You cannot run a test case with both arguments and rows.

Click Run > Testcase or Testplan > Detail > Specify Rows.

Testcase

Displays all the test cases accessible from the current script.

Arguments

Allows you to enter arguments to pass to the selected test case.

Animated Run Mode (Slow-Motion)

Check to wait one second after each interaction with the application under test is executed. Typically, you will only use this check box if you want to watch the test case run. For instance, if you want to demonstrate a test case to someone else, you might want to check this check box. Executions of the default base state and functions that include one of the following strings are not delayed:

• BaseStateExecutionFinished
• Connecting
• Verify
• Exists
• Is
• Get
• Set
• Print
• ForceActiveXEnum
• Wait
• Sleep

Use Sample Data from Script

Check to run the test case once using the sample record for each table used by the test case. This is available only if the selected test case is a data-driven test case.

Enable TrueLog

To view results using the TrueLog Explorer, check the Enable TrueLog check box. This check box enables you to enable or disable TrueLog Explorer each time you run a test case. You can also check this check box in the TrueLog Options dialog box. When you enable or disable TrueLog Explorer in the Run Test Case dialog box, the same changes are made in the TrueLog Options dialog box. Likewise, when you enable or disable TrueLog Explorer in the TrueLog Options dialog box, the same changes are made in the Run Testcase dialog box.

TrueLog Options

Click to set the TrueLog options you want to record. By default, Silk Test Classic uses the options that were most recently specified in the TrueLog Options dialog box. Check the Enable TrueLog check box to enable this button.

Run

Runs the selected test case. For data-driven test cases, the argument must be in the test case record format. If the Arguments text box is empty, Run causes the test case to run all combinations of all rows in all tables used by the test case.

Debug

Opens the file in which the test case resides, enters debugging mode, and places a breakpoint at the first line of the test case. Debugging mode makes available all the debugging commands on the Breakpoint, Debug and View menus. If the Arguments list is empty, Debug runs the data-driven test case using all rows, but in debug mode. Since the default breakpoint is the testcase statement, by default the debugger skips DefaultRunDataDrivenTestCase() and stops at the test case with the first set of rows as input. The debugger acts as described for Debug in Run > Testcase, but with data-driven test cases only sets of selected rows are passed to the test case.

Cancel

Closes this dialog box.

Specify Rows

Opens the Specify Rows dialog box where you can select the rows you want to run from the tables for this data-driven test case. This is available only if you have selected Use Sample Data from Script for a data-driven test case.
