The Human Task Emulators page is similar to the Component Emulators page. You choose the element to emulate and then specify the emulation rules.

Before you begin

Before you follow the instructions in this topic, you should read the topic "Component Test Explorer" to learn about the Component Test Explorer user interface.

About this task

To emulate human tasks:

Procedure

  1. In the menu bar of Component Test Explorer, click Human Task Emulators. The Human Task Emulators page opens.
  2. In the explorer area, click a human task. The Emulator Rules view is displayed for the selected human task.
  3. To claim a task, select the Security tab at the bottom of the page and then specify the user name and password of the user that will be claiming the task.
  4. In the Security tab, set the status for the human task emulator. The decorator on the human task icon in the explorer area displays a check mark to denote that the human task is being emulated.
  5. Specify rules for the human task emulator, which is identical to specifying rules for component emulators.
  6. Complete one of the following steps to start, stop, import, or export the human task emulators:
    • If you want to activate all of the defined human task emulators, click the Start icon Start icon.
    • If you want to deactivate all of the human task emulators, click the Stop icon Stop icon.
    • If you want to import human task emulators, click the Import icon Import icon.
    • If you want to export human task emulators, click the Export icon Export icon.

Results

When you import human tasks, all of the existing human tasks will be overwritten. If a human task is defined for any operation of a component, then all of the operations for that component will be emulated.
