Most of the options on the Run Options menu shown in the previous screen contain default values selected during installation. Change these options to meet your testing needs.
Rulesets can be defined and associated with test streams to eliminate unnecessary RUN MISMATCHES of expected differences. See the chapter "Rules Function" for details on how to create and maintain rulesets and rules.
Runs the test stream with the matching test stream ruleset and/or system ruleset and/or application ruleset. This is the default.
Note: The test stream ruleset must have the same name as the test stream.
Runs the test stream without applying any rulesets.
Displays the Ruleset Run Selection panel prior to initiating the run, where you can review and select the rulesets associated with the selected input test stream. See the section Select Rulesets for a Run for more information.
Identifies the type of comparison CA Verify for VTAM will perform:
A row-by-row comparison of the final screen image as presented to the user, regardless of the number of I/Os. This is the recommended comparison type for most situations.
Use S, the default, to run test streams associated with rules. This type of comparison is similar to a logical comparison which compares corresponding rows of the two screens to see it they're the same. However, the comparison base includes all output screens between two input screens.
A row-by-row comparison of the screen image for each I/O.
A logical comparison compares the corresponding rows on the two screens to see if they're the same. This type of comparison allows variation in the bytes being transmitted as long as the end result is the same.
A byte-for-byte comparison of the data stream.
Use physical to compare the data streams to determine if identical screen images were produced in the same way, for non-3270 terminals, or for test streams that use graphics. In a physical comparison, 80-byte segments of the data streams are compared.
Determines the contents of the output test stream after the run.
The output test stream will contain the screens that will be used the next time it is run or edited, as well as historical information. Record History can include: original screens, expected screens, rules, differences, and signoff data. If you specify Y, you must create a new output test stream.
The output test stream will contain only the screens that will be used the next time it is run or edited.
Requires the operator to explain each mismatch when CA Verify for VTAM compares the original, expected, and current screens. For example, you may want to require an explanation during a final Quality Assurance run. This option is not valid if Record History is N (no).
No explanation of mismatches is required. This is the default.
Note: Only functional if Stop At Mismatches = Y
Controls the rate at which CA Verify for VTAM sends input screens to the application, simulating the user's think time.
Specifies the minimum think time. CA Verify for VTAM will not wait before sending screens to the application. This is the default.
Specifies the think time as a percentage of the original user think time. For example, 50% specifies half the original think time, 100% specifies the same think time, and 200% specifies twice the original think time. 200 is the maximum percentage that can be specified.
Specifies the think time in seconds. CA Verify for VTAM will wait the same number of seconds before sending each input screen. 20 seconds is the maximum specification allowed.
Determines the number of seconds between updates in the Run Status menu. While the test stream is running, CA Verify for VTAM periodically updates this menu to indicate the number of records processed and the estimated remaining run time. The default is five seconds.
Determines the number of minutes between opportunities to cancel the run. During a long test stream run, CA Verify for VTAM periodically pauses, issues a terminal read, and displays a message on the Run Status menu which allows you to cancel the run. Run processing is suspended while you react to this message. The default is one minute.
You can also use the Inquiry function to interrupt a run which will not issue a terminal read for several minutes. See the chapter "Inquiry Function" for details.
When Y is selected the run will stop if any mismatches are encountered. The default is Y.
When N is selected the run will not stop at mismatches.
