Performing Lockdown and Runtime Tests Under a Different User Account

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | QualityMonitor

Edition:QualityMonitor is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

You can use the Run As feature to execute Lockdown and Runtime tests in the context of a different user. This allows you to validate an application in a locked-down environment without actually requiring a user to log-in with a different set of credentials. This will reduce the test cycle effort significantly.

To perform tests under a different user account:

Create or open a QualityMonitor project. The QualityMonitor Product Information View opens.

From the View List, select Lockdown and Runtime Tests. The Lockdown and Runtime Tests View opens.

Select either the Select a Shortcut or Select an Executable option.

Select the shortcut or executable to run.

Click Run As.

You are then prompted to enter a User Name and Password.

Enter the User Name in the format of: DOMAINNAME\UserName. The default value is the current User Name.

When the application launches, use the application in a normal way, performing various operations.

Exit the application.

The name of the executable or shortcut is now listed as a new node under the Lockdown and Runtime Tests node in the View List, and a subnode is listed for any access failures for Files, Folders, or Registry Entries.

Select the Files, Folders, and Registry Entries nodes. The right side of the Lockdown and Runtime Tests View displays a list of failed Test Items for each node. For information on specifying which errors are listed, see Filtering Results of Lockdown and Runtime Tests.

10.

To view the error message for a Test Item, right-click the Test Item and select Test Item Information on the shortcut menu. The Test Item Information dialog box opens, listing an Error Description in the Test Details area.

Note:Run As can also be selected using the Shift+F5 shortcut, or by selecting Run As from the Execute menu.
