Rerunning part of a component test

The first time a component test is run, each test case runs all of its data sets. After this, you can rerun any single test suite, test case, and even a particular data set. If you have located and fixed a failed result, this can be a quick way to obtain new test results without rerunning the whole component test.

To rerun a test suite, test case, or data set, the test must have already been executed. The action of rerunning part of a test is the same as running it, except that you can also run particular data sets. Agent Controller must be running on your machine in order to collect test data. For information about Agent Controller, refer to the Installation Guide.

To rerun a component test:

1. In the Run folder of the Test Navigator view, select the test suite, test case, or data set that you want to rerun. Data set runs are located inside test case runs, which are inside test suite runs.

2. Right-click the selected item and click Run > Component Test. This creates a new run configuration using the default settings with only the selected elements, and runs them.

After rerunning part of a component test, a new run is generated in the Run folder of the Test Navigator view.
