This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Create Test Maintenance Report Wizard: Step 4 of 4.

For a given change project you will use this page to generate multiple reports as changes are made to the PTF test metadata. As you make changes to tests based on the results of this report, rerun the report to verify that the issues were corrected. You can run this report repeatedly as you make changes to tests without having to redo steps 1 through 3 of the Create Test Maintenance Report wizard.

To generate a report:

1. Select one or more tests in the Select Test(s) for Test Maintenance Report grid to use for the report.

   Use the Folder and Search for Tests By fields along with the Search button to filter the list of tests that are available to select for the report:

   • Select a value in the Folder list to specify the PTF Explorer Tree level to include. To include test from all folders, leave this field blank.

   • To include only tests that match a test name or description, select Name or Desc from the Search for Tests By list, then enter the search string in the adjacent edit box.

   Click Search to populate the Select Test(s) for Test Maintenance Report grid with the tests that match the criteria specified.

2. Select the report format.

3. Click Generate Report to create the report.

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

2. From the context menu, select Validate Test.

3. The Validate Test – Analysis Project list dialog box appears.

4. Select an analysis from the list and click Open.

   The test maintenance report opens in a new window in the PTF client.
