Running a Web UI test

You can run a Web UI test in Test after you record the test, and to verify that the web application performs as expected.

You must have completed the following tasks:

Ensured that you are assigned a Team Space Owner, Project Owner, or Member with a Tester role to create or edit a test resource.
Ensured that your project contains a Web UI test in the test navigator panel.

When you play back the test, the test runs in the browser that is used to record the test. The progress bar shows the progress of the test, while the three color-coded boxes display the counts of passed steps, failed steps, and errors. You can view the step details of the first failed step or error step by clicking the respective color-coded boxes. As the test runs, you can view checkmarks for the steps that pass and crossmarks for the steps that fail. After the test run is complete, you can view the overall results on the Results page.

The Projects page of the initial team space is displayed.
Click My projects > project_name to open the project that contains the test assets.
The Overview page of the project is displayed.
