Create Test Maintenance Report Wizard: Step 2 of 4

For a given change project the tasks for Step 2 only need to be run once. This analysis is based only on the compare data, not on the test data; so changes to tests do not affect the result. The relationship between this analysis and test data is calculated in Step 3: Generate Impact Report. You may generate multiple Impact Reports based on a single analysis as tests change.

In this step, PTF analyzes data from the compare you performed in Wizard Step 1, Task 5.

  1. For the project compare report you created in Wizard Step 1, Task 5, specify whether the Compare Type is From File or To Database.

  2. Click Analyze.

    This will launch the Application Engine program PSPTANALYSIS in Process Scheduler.

    Note:

    A pop-up appears stating that the request is submitted to Process Scheduler. Click OK to proceed.

  3. You can click the Process Monitor link or check the Status column to know the progress of the Application Engine program.

  4. When the analysis is complete, the Status column shows Success or Fail. Click Next to continue.

Note:

A project name can appear more than once in the list because the Compare Output to Table feature stores data by both project name and compare date/time. The most recent compare will appear first in the list.
