Validating a Task UI

This task is a step in Process of Testing a Task UI.

The Validate tool in Siebel Tools is an error correction tool that you can use before you deploy a task UI. Validation enforces the semantic consistency of a task. For example, you can use validation to make sure an error process does not include an error process.

To validate a task UI

1. Locate the task UI you must validate.

   For more information, see Locating a Task UI in the Tasks List.

2. In the Tasks list, right-click the task UI, and then choose Validate.
3. In the Validate dialog box, click Start.

   Siebel Tools displays the following message in the bottom left corner of the Validate dialog box:

   Starting validation

   If your task contains an error, then Siebel Tools displays a warning that describes the error.

4. If Siebel Tools reports a problem after it finishes the validation, then use the information that it displays in the Errors window to help correct the error.

   Validate the task UI until you resolve all errors. If the task contains no errors, then Siebel Tools displays the following message in the bottom left corner of the Validate dialog box:

   Total tests failed: 0

5. Click Cancel to close the Validate dialog box and end the validation.
