Playing back an Accelerated Functional Test asset

After you create an Accelerated Functional Test (AFT) asset for Web UI or Compound tests, you can play back these tests anytime later by using the AFT XML file.

Before you begin

You must have created AFT test asset for the Web UI or Compound tests. See Creating an Accelerated Functional Test asset

About this task

You can also play back the AFT asset from the command-line.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the accelerated functional asset XML file in the Test Navigator pane,and click Run Distributed Tests.

    The Run Accelerated Functional Test dialog box is displayed.

    You can choose to select the following checkboxes:
    • Re-run failed tests only the from last playback: Select this checkbox if you want to rerun only the failed tests from the previous playback.
      Note: If this option is enabled, the failed tests are rerun only on the browsers and location on which the test failed previously.
    • Fix the browser-driver incompatibility: Select this checkbox to automatically resolve the incompatibility between the browser and the driver, while you play back the AFT test asset.
      Tip: As the playback starts only after the appropriate driver is downloaded, a timeout error might occur if the application is not started within the time limit specified in the Time Out field. You must increase the time in the Time Out field. To resolve this error, you can modify the timeout value. The default timeout is 10 seconds. To modify the timeout, check the option and enter a new value.
  2. Click OK.

The tests mentioned in the AFT XML are played back on the specified browsers, devices, and agents.
