Run GUI tests from Business Process Monitor

Relevant for: GUI tests only

Consider the following guidelines when running tests from Business Process Monitor:

• To run a test in Business Process Monitor, OpenText Functional Testing must be installed and closed on the Business Process Monitor computer.

  Note: OpenText Functional Testing must be installed before Business Process Monitor.

• Before you try to run a test in Business Process Monitor, check which versions of OpenText Functional Testing are supported by your version of Business Process Monitor. For details, see the Business Process Monitor documentation.

• Business Process Monitor can only run OpenText Functional Testing tests that contain transactions.

• Business Process Monitor can run only one test at a time. Make sure that the previous OpenText Functional Testing run session is finished before starting to run another test.

• Transaction breakdown is not supported for tests created with OpenText Functional Testing.

• Tests must be zipped before uploading them to Application Performance Management Admin.

  If you make changes to your local copy of a test after uploading it to Application Performance Management, upload the zipped test again to enable Business Process Monitor to run the test with your changes.

• When running tests from Business Process Monitor, start Business Process Monitor by running the Business process monitor service from the Windows Services window.

• To edit or record tests in OpenText Functional Testing, you must install an OpenText Functional Testing license.

• You cannot use the ResultDir environment variable when running a test in Business Process Monitor.
