What's new in IBM Rational Test Automation Server V10.0.1

• Test runs
  • On the new Advanced Settings window, you can specify advanced arguments such as Java Virtual Machine, Program, and Environment Variables, which can be used by the test at run time. See Running tests.
  • The options that you configure while initiating a test run are preserved and you do not have to reconfigure them when you run the same test again. See Running tests.
  • You can now cancel a test that is running or scheduled to run from the Progress page. See Canceling a test run.
• Test run status

  The Overview page now shows the number of test suites and individual tests by type, the proportion of test suites that were run by status and date, and the number of new and modified test assets by type. The Project on the Home page now shows the number of test suites and individual tests. See An overview of test assets, modifications, and scheduled runs.
