Using CA Continuous Application Insight › Creating Baselines › Baseline Results Panel

Baseline Results Panel

The Baseline Results panel in DevTest Workstation lets you monitor and update baseline suites at run time.

When you run a baseline suite, the Baseline Results panel opens in the Stage Suite Execution tab.

The following graphic shows the Baseline Results panel for a baseline suite that contains three tests. In the suite run, the last test failed. The diff viewer shows where the issue occurred in the last test.

Each test includes a status icon:

• The color green indicates that the test succeeded.
• The color red indicates that the test failed (that is, an assertion fired that failed the test).
• The color orange indicates that the test stopped. For example, a test step threw an unexpected exception.

After the baseline suite is run, you can select a test to display the results. If the test succeeded or failed, the diff viewer shows the expected response and the actual response. Any differences are highlighted. If the test stopped, the cycle history appears instead.

If a test failed, you can perform one of the following actions:

• Select the test, right-click a row in the Diff Viewer tab, and click Ignore. In subsequent runs of the suite, the row is skipped for all tests in the suite.
• Select the test and click the Ignore icon at the bottom. In subsequent runs of the suite, the test does not run.
• Select the test and click the Update icon at the bottom. The expected response is updated with the actual response.

The toolbar at the bottom contains the following whole suite commands:
