t Test Results
The results of an invocation of the Test Executive are reported in several ways. As each test is invoked, a line
is written to the screen at the beginning and end of each test. Test results are also stored cumulatively in a
summary file which has the default name of summary.txt. The file name can be changed with the /SF
command line argument. In addition, for each invocation of the Test Executive, a volatile environment
variable records the results of the invocation.
t Screen Output
The format of the screen output as each test is invoked is as follows:
MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS [handle] STARTED modulename.testname
MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS [handle] PASSED modulename.testname
MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS [handle] FAILED modulename.testname
Text is displayed in the following colors by default:
• “Test Start” messages are reported in white text.
• “Test Passed” messages are reported in green text.
• “Test Failed” messages are reported in red text.
• Error messages are reported in red text.
• Advisory messages are reported in cyan text.
• User prompts are displayed in yellow text.
• Status messages are displayed in gray text.
• Information messages are displayed in white text.
• Verbose messages are displayed in magenta text.
Color values can be changed by using the “/BG” flag or manually editing the hidden .mta file in the same
directory as the “t” Test Executive.
/V [maskvalue] 32-bit integer.
Can be
negative.
Maskvalue is a 32-bit value that is bitwise ANDed with the
VerboseMask parameter of any Verbose Test Library
function calls the tests make. If the result is non-zero for a
particular call, the calls message is displayed. The default
maskvalue is zero. This flag is intended for module
debugging purposes only. A test developer can assign
message types to each bit and use them to control tracing of
test logic flow. A maskvalue of –1 displays all verbose
messages in all tests.
/W None Do not wait for replies to user prompts. Default values are
used instead. Intended for automated scripting.
