Running tests
The tests in IBM MQ Explorer are run as test configurations. A test configuration contains a selection of tests and a list of objects (or types of object) against which the tests are run when you run the test configuration.
About this task
There is a default test configuration for each object type which we can run directly from any of the objects or folders in the Navigator view. For more information, see Running the default tests.
We can also create and edit your own test configurations to include new tests that we have written yourself or that we have obtained from a third party. For more information, see Create and running your own test configuration.
When you have run a test configuration, we can rerun an individual test without editing the test configuration. For more information, see Rerunning an individual test.
- Running the default tests
The default test configuration contains the tests that are appropriate for the type of object against which we are running the test configuration.- Create and running your own test configuration
To have more control over the tests that are run or to include new tests that we have written, we can create and edit your own test configurations.- Rerunning an individual test
If we have used the information in a test result to change objects in IBM MQ Explorer, we can rerun the test that produced that result without needing to run the whole test configuration again.Parent topic: Testing your object definitions for problems
