Installing a Custom Test Type > Verifying the Deployment

Verifying the Deployment

After registering the custom test type, it is ready for use.

Note: It is not recommended to use the station on which the custom test was compiled to run the client with the custom tests. If it is necessary to do so, before running the client on the machine, delete all mentions of components you created from the system registry.

On the client machine, log off ALM.

If your custom test type requires any client-side resources or folders that are not installed from ALM, make sure that they exist and are available.

Open a browser and enter the URL http://<server:port>/qcbin/start_a.htm. Click the HP ALM link.

In the Test Plan module in the test plan tree, create a test. Choose your custom test type from the drop-down list of test types. Note that the icon to the left of the test name, in the test grid, indicating the test type, is a question mark (the default).

In the Test Plan module in the test plan tree, select the test you added. Click the Test Script tab to display the test's text inside your custom script viewer.

In the Test Lab module, select and add your test. Run the test. Check that the test runs and the status field of the test is updated correctly.
