This topic describes how to create and run a manual test.
To run a manual test:
- From the Test Navigator click . The Run dialog box opens.
- In the Configurations pane on the left,
click Hyades Manual Test.

- Optionally, in the Perspectives tab, you can associate the Run
launch mode with a different workbench perspective by clicking the appropriate
arrow and selecting the perspective from the drop-down list.
- To create a new configuration, click the New button
on the bottom left.
A new test configuration, initially
named New_Configuration, is created. Change the name
if you like. Alternatively, expand Hyades Manual Test and
click a listed configuration that you want to inspect or modify. The Run dialog
box opens in the Test tab.

- In the Select Test to run pane in the middle
listing all projects in the workspace, navigate to the project containing
the test to run and click it.
- In the Select a deployment pane on the right
listing all defined deployments in the workspace, click the one to use for
this run.
To run the test using default values, or using the
same values that you set during the previous test run, you can click Run now
and stop reading.
- Click Apply to save the selections on this
tab.
- Click Execution Results to display that
tab, as shown below.

- To overwrite the test results file that was used the last time
this test was run, rather than creating a new results file, check the box
beside Override existing Execution Results resource.
- In the Location box listing Java projects
in the workspace, click the one in which to store the test results.
- Click Apply to save the selections on this
tab.
- Click Common to display the Common tab,
as shown below.

- When you run a test configuration, Eclipse creates a file, with
a .launch suffix, containing metadata. If you select Local,
Eclipse stores this file in your workspace's metadata folder, which is not
visible to other users. If you want other users to have access to the file,
select Shared, click Browse,
and navigate to a folder in your workspace where you want to store the file.
- To have the test configuration appear in the Run favorites
toolbar menu, check this item in the Display in favorites menu
box.
- Select Launch in background to have Eclipse
run the test configuration in the background so that you can perform other
Eclipse tasks while the test runs.
- Click Apply to save the settings for the
configuration.
- Click Run. The Manual Remote Application
dialog box opens, as shown below.

- Navigate to a test in the left pane. The name and description of
the test appears in the right pane. After you perform the steps specified
in the test's description, indicate whether the test passed, failed, returned
an error, or was inconclusive by selecting a value in the Status drop-down
list. Enter comments about the test results in the Info field.
- Click Next to save the test results and
move to the next test.
- When you finish running all tests, click End Execution to
close the dialog box.
