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.
