Execute automated tests

Once you have set up the execution of your tests and configured the execution behavior, you can execute the following objects in the Execution section:

To execute a particular object, select it and press F6. You can select several objects at once by holding CTRL.

Alternatively, right-click the selected object(s) and select Run from the context menu.

If you want to start the execution from a specific ExecutionEntry in an ExecutionList, make a right-click on it and select Run from here from the context menu. Test Automation for SAP Commander executes the selected ExecutionEntry and all subsequent ExecutionEntries in the ExecutionList.

Pause execution

During execution, the Test Automation for SAP Commander window collapses. Instead, the Windows taskbar displays an execution progress bar.

Progress bar: execution in progress

This bar contains information on the test state of your ExecutionEntries as well as the elapsed and estimated remaining time.

  • Green blocks indicate passed ExecutionEntries, red blocks indicate failed ExecutionEntries or ExecutionEntries that returned an error.

  • Initially, Test Automation for SAP Commander estimates an execution time of one minute per ExecutionEntry. After the execution of each ExecutionEntry, Test Automation for SAP Commander recalculates the remaining time with the actual execution time.

  • The tooltip contains information on the number of passed, failed and remaining ExecutionEntries.

To pause the execution of your tests, click the Pause button in the progress bar, or press the Pause key.

Progress bar: Execution has been Paused

Once you have paused execution, you can proceed in one of two ways:

  • Cancel paused executions by clicking the Cancel button, or by pressing F6.

  • Resume execution by clicking the Resume button, or by pressing Pause.

You can change these keyboard shortcuts in the settings under Project->Settings->TBox->Execution.

You can deactivate the progress bar in the setting Show Progress Visualization. In this case, cancel executions via the Test Automation for SAP Commander status bar:
