Test Run Optimization
AdminStudio 2021 | 21.0 | Application Manager
Edition:Application Manager is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.
To make testing more efficient, Application Manager has a test run optimization option that can speed up the testing of large groups of packages, and enable you to perform testing incrementally without rerunning tests unnecessarily.
If the Optimize each test run option on the Analyze tab of the Application Catalog Options dialog box is selected, when you click Execute Tests, Application Manager will only execute tests on a package that were not previously run. If this option is selected, before beginning testing, Application Manager:
| • | Checks each selected package to see which tests have been run on it and which have not been run. |
| • | Checks each selected Windows Installer file (and its transform files) and App-V package to see if it has changed since the last time that testing was performed. |
If the packages have not changed, Application Manager will then only execute those selected tests which have not yet been run.
If the Optimize each test run option is not selected, Application Manager will execute all selected tests on all selected packages each time testing is initiated, even if the test has already been run on a package and neither the package nor its transform file has changed.
If you have a large number of applications in your Application Catalog, selecting this option enables you to start testing, then click Stop to pause testing when you want to access Application Manager to perform other tasks. When you click Stop, Application Manager would finish executing the current test. When you were ready to resume testing, you could then click Execute Tests and Application Manager would immediately begin testing where it left off the last time testing was performed.
