Run MBT tests

You can run MBT tests automatically in Functional Testing Execution or using an external automated testing tool such as UFT One. Alternatively, you can run the tests manually using the built-in test runner.

For details on planning and running automated, manual, and Gherkin tests, see the OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform Help Center.

Automated tests

To run an MBT test automatically, you need to add the test to a test suite. For details, see Generate MBT tests.

Configure the test suite with the following values:

Test runner: Your defined MBT runner.
Run mode: Automatically.

Manual tests

When running a manual test, view the test steps and add details on the steps. For each validation step, assign a run status. After the test run, MBT creates a compiled status.

To assign a manual test to a unit:

Open a unit's Details tab.
In the More menu, select Link Manual Test.
Select a manual test and click Add. Note that only one manual test can be selected.
(Optional) In the Details tab, click the Customize fields button and add the Linked manual test field to the tab. You can then click the test ID link to drill to the test.
In the Parameters tab, click the Import linked manual test parameters button. Note that this button appears after you link a manual test to a unit.

The parameters are imported from the manual test data to MBT as input parameters.
In the Data set tab, define the test data to be used when running the test, for each of the parameters.

To run a linked manual test:

Open a model's Paths tab.
Select a path that includes the unit you want to test and click Generate Test.
Create the test and test suite. For details, see Generate MBT tests.
Run the manual test. For details, see the OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform Help Center.

Each test iteration uses one set of parameter values.

Testing flow for linked tests:

The testing flow in linked manual tests is not the same as in unlinked tests.

In unlinked tests, MBT runs tests for the first unit using all its parameter values, then for the second unit using all its parameter values, and so on.

In linked tests, the first iteration uses the first set of parameter values for all of the units, then the second iteration uses the second set of parameter values for all the units, and so on.

Example: In the following data table used by linked manual tests there are two parameters, each with two values:

Value Set	Parameter 1 - Log in user	Parameter 2 - Purchase item
1	John	Book
2	Sue	Magazine

Iteration 1 includes John logging in (unit 1) and purchasing a book (unit 2). Iteration 2 includes Sue logging in and buying a magazine.
