Using the Regression Test Management Solution

Once you have configured your test groups and report settings, you can execute tests manually or automatically, track their results, and access detailed reports.

Executing regression tests

Below you can find the different ways you can execute regression tests.

From the Settings page

Click the Execute Tests button on the Settings page to run all configured tests immediately. This simulates the daily automated execution and sends an email report if this is enabled.

From the Test Configuration page

On the Test Configuration page:

  • To run a single test, click the Execute button in the corresponding row in the Regression Tests table.
  • To run an entire group, click the Execute button next to a group in the Groups table. All associated tests will execute in the specified order.

From the visual overview

On the visual overview of the Regression Test Results element, click the EXECUTE button. This will open a window where you can select specific tests or folders to run.

From DataMiner Scheduler

  1. In DataMiner Cube, open the Scheduler module.

  2. Create a new task, using the following configuration:

    1. Set the Recurrence (e.g. daily at 2:00 AM).

    2. Under Actions, select the RegressionTestRunner script.

    3. Provide the configuration in the ScriptConfiguration field using a JSON structure like this:

      {
  "Folders": ["Regression Testing"],
  "Scripts": ["RT_TestName"],
  "SearchSubDirectories": True,
  "ScriptsToSkip": ["RT_SKIP_THIS"],
  "FoldersToSkip": ["Regression Testing/FolderToSkip"],
  "Recipients": ["someone@example.com"]
}

Viewing test results

Go to the General page of the Regression Test Results element to view the summary of test executions.

  • Summary shows the total number of tests and the overall success rate.
  • Overview displays the list of executed tests with their result, reason, and timestamp.

Email reports

If this is enabled on the Settings page, the system sends out a formatted email report after execution, with the following information:

  • Success rate
  • Test names
  • Result (OK/Fail)
  • Reason for failure or success
  • Timestamp

Email settings panel

These reports help quickly identify failures and track regression test health over time.

Note

You can adjust email recipients or disable email entirely via the Settings page of the element.
