Reviewing Test Case Results

The first time you run a test, the results correctly report that it has failed. This happens because the output produced does not match the (empty) Output.xml file, and the file's null content is replaced with the output of the first run. If you run the test again without changing the input, the second and subsequent runs report success, since the output matches the contents of Output.xml.

Test results appear in the NetBeans Output window. Detailed results are appear in the JUnit Test Results window, which opens automatically when you run a test case. If you change the value in the Input.xml and rerun the test, the following occurs:

• If the Feature Status property is set to progress, the test indicates success even though a mismatch occurred.

• If the Feature Status property is set to done, the test indicates failure.

If you right-click the test case node and select Diff, the window displays the difference between the latest output and the contents of Output.xml.
