The Tests view

The Tests view lists all tests currently defined in the Paragon Active Assurance system. Up to 20 tests are listed on one page; if more tests are defined, the view will be split into multiple pages, which you browse by means of page links at the bottom of the view.

For each test the following is indicated:

  • Session: Name of the test. Click the name to view the test setup and a summary of its execution. To the left of the name is an icon indicating the current status of the test; for explanations, see Icons used for tests and monitors.

  • Creator: The name of the person who created the test.

  • Started: Date and time when the test was started.

  • Completed: Date and time when the test was completed.

  • Shared: Icon indicating the share status for the test. How to share tests with others is explained on the page Sharing test and monitoring results.

Inspecting an individual test

The name of each test in the Tests view is a clickable link. Clicking a test takes you to a new view which details the execution of that test, while also allowing you to perform some further user actions. See the page View showing an individual test.

Multi-select function

You can select a test by selecting its checkbox on the far left. You can select all tests by clicking the checkmark box at the top of the list and selecting “All”. Select “None” in the same box to clear all selections.

When at least one test is selected, a button labeled with a trash can appears. Click this button to delete all selected tests.

(This is a shortcut for clicking each test individually, then clicking the Delete button in the test-specific view.)

Filtering the Tests view

At the top of the Tests view are some filtering controls. You can filter tests with respect to their name, their current status, and their creator. This is handy especially if a large number of tests have been defined in the system.

  • Specify filtering criteria as desired, then click the Filter button to apply them. The view will now show only tests matching the criteria.

  • To remove the filtering, click the Clear button.

Creating a new test

  • To set up a new test, click Tests on the left-side bar and select New Test Sequence, or click the Create new button in the Tests view. All about this is covered on the page Building tests.
