Enhancement Request: Test Manager

[ScottMattes]

I have started using this, comparing it to Qute (www.unit-test.com).

- I would like to be able to quickly open a Test, but dbl clicking the test in the list, or right clicking it, doesn't open the test. I see that dbl clicking on the entry in the Run tab results grid opens the test, but I think the same thing should be available without having to run the tests. Please make a way to quickly open a test defined in the manage.

- duplicating an existing test should be as simple as right clicking and selecting 'duplicate' in the popup menu

- if a test is disabled, please visually indicate it in the list of tests

- please indicate how long each test took on the run tab (so we can have some idea of what to set the Performance seconds to

- F8 should execute the Tests

- if I ctl new test, then run the tests, then go to the run tab, then dbl click the new test line, modify the test and do Save As, the test manager should know this and change the file path (just like if I drag a func/proc from object browser)

I would also like

- a better way of putting comments into the Test Manager window. Currently, I define a test with no test file and put "-- my comment" AND make it disabled

- would like the Run tab to keep the order as in the Definition tab (erros seem to go to the top and my comments went to the bottom. Maybe this could be an option?

The status on the bottom of the Test Manager window does not indicate if changes need to be saved.

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests. Some remarks:

I would like to be able to quickly open a Test

There is an "Edit test script..." button at the bottom of the screen.

duplicating an existing test should be as simple as right clicking and selecting 'duplicate' in the popup menu

If you hold down the Ctrl-key while pressing the + button, the current test item will be copied.

Thank you for pointing that out, but I'd like it as fast as dbl clicking the Test line, just like the Run tab has. I think that it should also be on a right click popup menu.

If you hold down the Ctrl-key while pressing the + button, the current test item will be copied.

I did find that in the help, but it isn't intuitive. I feel it should also be on the right click popup menu.

Thank you for adding it to the list. BTW, is there a time frame for getting the 'list' online where we can see it?

Please don't hard code this to F8. I happen to use F9 for SQL Execute (a carryover from SQL/Nav?).

But I totally agree with Scott on these other suggestions. I think implementing these and the suggestions I made earlier would make Test Manager very useful, and therefore more likely to be used.

Thanks,

Stew is right, don't hardcode it, I just have left F8 and most other default keys the way they are.

Where is documentation on the Test Manager? I don't see it in help... is there something I need to download? Is there more info on the website?

gerry,

Do you have 7.0.1? If I open help up and search for "Test Manager", I see it.
