Adding and Viewing Events

You can add and view events:

• Through the ITR
• Through a quick test or staging document

Adding and Viewing Events through the ITR

You can enable some events in the Settings tab of the Interactive Test Run (ITR) utility.

Select the Show CALL_RESULT and Show NODERESPONSE check boxes to view those events.

You can view test events in the ITR by clicking the Test Events tab.

Adding and Viewing Events through a Quick Test/Staging Document

When you start a test case through the Start Test or Start Suite option, the test is staged and relevant graphs appear in the Perf Stats tab.

To view the test events, click the Events tab.

You can select the Events to Filter Out in the left panel or select from the predefined filter sets.

To refresh the test events list, select the Auto Refresh check box in the Events tab. As the test runs, you see the events that you designated on the Events tab.

View Events in Test Suites

You can also observe the events when you stage a test suite.

You can select events to be included in reports, and select events to be used as metrics that can be monitored and included in reports.

For more information about reports, see Reports. For more information about metrics, see Generating Metrics.

An event has an EventID, a short value, and a long value. EventIDs are keywords that indicate the type of event. The short values and long values contain information about the event. Their contents vary with the type of event.

Note: Internal to DevTest, a step can also be referred to as a node, explaining why some events have "node" in the EventID.
