10 <h2>Sending an STF test drop to ATS</h2> |
|
11 |
|
12 <h5>Before you start</h5> |
|
13 <ul> |
|
14 <li>Before sending a test drop to the Automatic Test System (ATS), create or import an STF project. For instructions, see <a href="creating_stf_project.htm">Creating STF project</a> or <a href="import_of_project.htm">Importing existing STF project</a>. The newly created test module contains exemplary test cases and is ready to be compiled. </li> |
|
15 <li>Check the settings for TestDrop (for example, connection to the ATS Server, view options for the TestDrop test results). For instructions, see <a href="../tasks/preferences.htm">Setting TestDrop Preferences</a>. </li> |
|
16 <li>Test Drop can be used to run test modules directly on your computer using an Symbian platform emulator. This feature is extremely handy when you expect immediate results. Using the emulator limits the duration of Test Drop to the minimum as it avoids any communication actions. Remember that not all SDK environments deliver the emulator. As a result, not all listed devices with "(emulator)" postfix may be valid. </li> |
|
17 </ul> |
|
18 <p>To send the TestDrop either to a hardware target or an emulator, follow these steps:</p> |
|
19 <ol> |
|
20 <li>Do the following: |
|
21 <ul> |
|
22 <li>Compile the test module. Depending on the chosen build configuration (debug or release), TestDrop will use the appropriate build version of the test module.</li> |
|
23 </ul></li> |
|
24 <li>do one of the following: |
|
25 <ul> |
|
26 <li>From the main menu select <b>Carbide > Send TestDrop</b> with a project or a .cfg file in the Project Explorer.</li> |
|
27 <li>Right-click your project or a .cfg file, and select <b>Send TestDrop</b>.</li> |
|
28 <li>Use a keyboard shortcut with a project or a .cfg file in the Project Explorer. The shortcut is set by default to Alt+D |
|
29 but you can easily change it by modifying the TestDrop key binding in <b>Window > Preferences > General > Keys > Binding</b>.</li> |
|
30 </ul> |
|
31 <p>The <b>Send TestDrop</b> dialog is displayed.</p> |
|
32 <p><b>Note:</b> This selection is shown only if you select the <b>Show the dialog option</b> in TestDrop's preferences. If you only have one target device you are using by default, it is enough to specify that one. </p></li> |
|
33 <li>Select the target device on the list: either a hardware or an emulator target. |
|
34 When a hardware device is used the user should also specify the files that will be needed to run the test drop. The listed files will be included into the test drop allowing a successful run of tests.<br/> |

|
36 |
|
37 <li>Click <b>Send</b>. <p>Depending on your test setup, the test drop is either sent directly to the ATS Server or it is run through <i>atsinterface</i> on the emulator. </p></li> |
|
38 </ol> |
|
39 <p>You can view the results of the test from the <b>TestDrop Result view</b>. For more information, see <a href="view_testdrop_results.htm">Viewing TestDrop test results</a>. </p> |
