QTP Test Results

After running/executing the test, QTP provides a test results window and the user (Test Engineer) has to analyze the test result.

Results Locations

1. New run result folder: This option displays the default path and folder name in which the results are saved. Every time you run a test, a new folder is created. By default, the results for a QuickTest test are stored in the test folder. You can enter a new path by typing it in the text box or by the browse button to locate a different folder (the folder must be new and empty).
2. Temporary run results folder: Saves the run results in a temporary folder but this option overwrites the previously existing result saved in this folder.

2. Fail
3. Warning

Running your entire test: When you start to run, a dialog box opens to enable you to specify the location for the results and to enter the values for any test parameters you have defined.
