Functional testing results

In the structure tree, you can see all tested test cases and how many of them passed, failed, or were inconclusive because Test Center failed to explicitly verify whether the test case passed or failed. Click the category of test cases, Passed, Failed, or Inconclusive to filter the results. Click to view details of the test case of interest.

FieldDescription
Test requestTest request of the test run.
Client profileClient profile of the test run.
ExpectedThis is the condition for which you run the test.
ActualThis is the actual value Test Center got from running the test for the set test request.
ResultThere are two possible test run results:
- Fail. It’s when the Expected and Actual values differ. In such case, the tested changes need to be thoroughly checked as they don’t behave as they should and may cause problems when activated on the production environment.
- Pass. It’s when the Expected and Actual values are the same. It means that the tested changes behave in expected manner and are safe to implement on the production environment.
Full request and response headersThe exact request and response’s headers. All customized request’s headers are noted at the end with annotations: added, filtered, or modified.

Comparative testing results

In the structure tree, you can see all test definitions for a hostname with the number of diffs found while running the test. To check details about a diff, click next to it.

FieldDescription
Response headers diff detailsIt's the comparison of headers between two tested hostnames.
InstancesIt's the list of test cases where the diffs were detected. You can accept them or add notes to them.

Add a note to a diff

You can add a note to diffs for you and another users to see. This can help explain why you did or did not accept the diffs.

Before you begin
Open the results of your comparative testing.

To add a note to a diff:

  1. Click next to a diff's instance of interest.
  2. To add a note:
    • To a single instance, hover over it and click .
    • To multiple instances at the level of a test case, in the test case name row, click ... > Add note to all.
      Add note to single instance
    • To all instances within run test cases, above the instances table, click ... > Add note to all.
      Add note to multiple instances
  3. Enter a note.
  4. Click Add.

Review diffs

Review diffs by accepting or unaccepting them.

Before you begin
Open the results of your comparative testing.

To review diffs:

  1. Click next to a diff's instance of interest.

  2. To review:

    • A single instance, switch Accept next to it.
      accept single diff
    • Multiple instances, at the level of a test case, in the test case name row, click ... > Accept all or Unaccept all depending on whether the instances were already accepted.
      accept test case diff
    • For all instances within run test cases, above the instances table, click ... > Accept all or Unaccept all depending on whether the instances were already accepted.
      accept test case diff
  3. Click Save.

What to do next
If all of the diffs represent desired or expected behavior, you can return to Property Manager to activate your configuration changes, confident that they won't cause problems. If some diffs still show undesired or unexpected behavior, you can return to Property Manager to adjust your configuration changes and retest them with Test Center before activating them.
