Table 18 describes the interface elements of the Integrated Test Environment perspective, identified by the numbers in Figure 56:

Table 18. Integrated Test Environment perspective interface elements
Interface element number Interface element name
1 ITE Navigator view
2 Outline view
3 Test Unit editor
4 Task Manager view
5 Properties view
6 Dependency view
7 ITE Console view

ITE Navigator view

This view lists the projects and test units you create. For more information on working with test projects and test units, see Working with test projects and units.

Outline view

This view lists the components and elements that comprise the interface and are displayed in the Test Unit editor. As you select items in this view, their properties are displayed in the Properties view.

This is a default workbench view.

Test Unit editor

This editor provides a graphical representation of the interface. It allows you to do things such as the following:

Task Manager view

The Task Manager view allows you execute tasks that must be performed as part of a test, such as starting InterChange Server Express and starting connector agent views. For more information on this view, see Using the Task Manager view.

Properties view

You can select items in the ITE Navigator, Outline, and Test Unit views to display properties of the items in this view. The property information is largely useless to you and you will probably want to overlay this view with a Connector Agent view or BO Inspector view.

For more information on the Connector Agent view, see Using the Connector Agent view.

For more information on the BO Inspector view, see Using the BO Inspector view.

This is a default workbench view.

Dependency view

This view lists the dependencies that exist for the components in the interface. For more information on using this view, see Using the Dependency view.

ITE Console view

The ITE Console displays information about the testing tasks. For instance, entries are written to it when you start the InterChange Server Express instance and start connector agent views. Use the information in it to troubleshoot the testing process itself.

If you start InterChange Server Express from within Integrated Test Environment, then a second tab named ICS Console is added to this view. The ICS Console displays the logging and tracing information of InterChange Server Express. Use the information displayed in it to troubleshoot the interface you are testing.

This is a default workbench view.
