Perform a Regression Test by Playing Back a Test Recorded in a Command Script File

Regression tests allow you to test whether or not changes made to CA SiteMinder®, such as upgrading the policy store or implementing a new feature, affect policies. To run a regression test, you run one test with the current environment, make changes, then run the test again. By comparing the results of the tests, you can determine if the changes affect CA SiteMinder®.

To perform a regression test

1. Run one or more functionality tests in Record mode.
2. Select Basic Playback in the Mode group box.
3. Enter the name of the Command Script file in the Input Script field.

   This file name should match the value you entered in the the Output Script field in Record mode.

4. In the Output Script field, specify an output file name.
5. In the Command group box, click Run Script.

   The Test Tool runs the Command Script file and creates the output script file.
