About Customizing Results in the Execution Viewer

You can create custom results to appear in the Result section of the execution viewer. When running manual test scripts, testers can choose a custom result for verification points and reporting points.

Important: If you plan to share custom properties or custom results with a team, set the Customization file location before you create custom properties and results. To set the Customization file location, in the Manual Tester menu click Window > Preferences. Select a network directory to share the file among several Manual Tester users.
You use the Execution Results page of the Preferences dialog box to create a custom result. You provide a name for the result that will be displayed in the Results section of the execution viewer. You also associate the custom result with a Hyades result. For example, you could create a custom result named blocking and associate it with the Hyades result fail.
Note: Manual Tester is based on Hyades, an open standard for architecting testing tools. You associate your custom results with Hyades results to ensure compatibility with any other Hyades-compliant tools you use.

Manual Tester adds the custom results to the Results section of the execution viewer for scripts that you subsequently open or create and run.

Note: Manual Tester displays the result of the last verification point or reporting point in the script in the Verdict field on the Overview page of the test log. If it is a custom result, Manual Tester displays the Hyades result associated with the custom result rather than the custom result. To display the custom result, on the Events page in the Events section, click the verification point or the reporting point. Manual Tester displays the custom result for the verification point or reporting point in the Properties view in the Value field of the Result property.
