PI92987: DISABLED ASSERT ACTION CAN CAUSE A TEST TO WRONGLY PASS

Rational Performance Test Server 9.2
Rational Test Virtualization Server 9.2
Rational Integration Tester 9.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a test ends with 2 Assert actions and the last one is
  disabled, test passes even if the enabled Assert action fails.
  If you move the disabled Assert action above the enabled one,
  the test will fail as expected.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1.   Create a new test.
  2.   Add a failing Assert action with the following script:
  eq(1, 2)
  3.   Add an Assert after the first one with the following
  script:  eq(2, 2)
  4.   Save and run the test.
  
  Expected result:
  
  The test should fail and shows the Assert action failing in the
  console.
  
  Actual result:
  
  The test passes and shows the Assert action failing in the
  console.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users of Rational Integration Tester with multiple assert    *
  * actions in a single test.                                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Rational Integration Tester treats consecutive Assert        *
  * actions as a single group. If an Assert fails, the test      *
  * continues to run until the final assertion in the group was  *
  * performed. If the final Assert in the group was disabled, it *
  * was possible for the test to pass incorrectly.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Rational Integration Tester 9.2.0 now correctly processes
  multiple assert actions correctly.
