Launch a test suite

In most cases, when you want to re-execute a test suite with the same or slightly modified settings, you can easily launch the test suite from Foretify Manager.

If you are executing a new, parameterized scenario and test for the first time, you should probably submit the run table directly to FRun, the front-end of Foretify Manager Dispatcher, so that you can review the tests that are created and make sure that they will compile and execute correctly. For more information on using FRun to validate your run tables, see the FRun Reference.

Launch a test suite with Foretify Manager

When you launch a test suite from Foretify Manager, you must create or select a test plan that defines the following:

  • The test suite name.

  • The path to a text file containing a list of the CSV files that define the tests to be executed.

  • The environment settings required to execute the tests.

You can access test plans that you or other team members have previously created. Additionally, you can add new definitions, and copy, edit, or delete existing ones.

To launch a previously defined test suite configuration:

  1. Open the Chrome browser and enter the <HostIP>:<Port> of the Foretify Manager server in the URL field of a new tab, for example, localhost:8080 or 138.54.93.29:8443.

  2. Log in with your Foretify Manager credentials.

  3. Click the Projects dropdown list and select the project to work in.

    This procedure assumes you have an existing project containing test plans. To learn how to create new projects, see Working with projects.

  4. From the project, click the Test Plans tab to access your test plans and those of your teammates.

  5. Browse the list of test plans and choose one that you would like to launch.

  6. Select the test plan and click Launch Test Suite on the top right.

  7. Click Launch to launch the test suite.

    If the selected test plan is not valid (missing a required field), you see an error message, and the launch fails.

    If the definition is valid, the form closes and a new test suite appears at the top of the Test Suite Results tab.
