Session management
The following options let you control the sessions during testing
Loads a previous session as the baseline session against which the recorded session is compared for regressions or improvements.
Examples:
-baseline c:\baseline\testMacro1.mvm
-baseline "c:\base line\testMacro1.mvm"
Ensure your session manager is configured to hold at least 2 sessions or use -numSessions to specify how many sessions to use.
Sets the number of sessions that can be loaded at once.
This is equivalent to the same setting in the session manage and can't be less than 1.
Example:
-numSessions 2
Saves the session data when all data has finished being collecting from the target program.
Examples:
-saveSession c:\results\testMacro1.mvm
-saveSession "c:\test results\testMacro1.mvm"
Loads a previously created session to act as the comparison session and which will be compared against a baseline session, for regression testing.
This might be used when a series of tests have been performed and the sessions saved.
The regression test results can then be generated by using -baseline and -sessionLoad to load two sessions and compare them.
Use in conjunction with: -baseline,
Not compatible with: -program, -injectName, -injectID, -waitName, as regression tests will be performed using the wrong session data (the session from -sessionLoad rather than the session from -baseline).
Examples:
-sessionLoad c:\results\testMacro1.mvm
-sessionLoad "c:\test results\testMacro1.mvm"
Ensure your session manager is configured to hold at least 2 sessions or use -numSessions to specify how many sessions to use.
-sessionCompareHTML
-sessionCompareXML
Compare two sessions, producing an HTML or XML report detailing any regression and improvements.
A description of the XML tags used to produce the report is here.
The two sessions can be loaded using one of these options:
-baseline and -sessionLoad
-baseline and running a program using one of -program, -injectName, -injectID, or -waitName
Examples:
-sessionCompareXML c:\regtests\testMacro1.xml
-sessionCompareHTML "c:\reg tests\testMacro1.html"
Ensure your session manager is configured to hold at least 2 sessions or use -numSessions to specify how many sessions to use.
Use the old style XML report without the <EVENT> tag when exporting the results of a session comparison.
A similar option -flatXMLSessionExport is available for exporting the session data.
See also the description of the XML export tags.
