Running a script from TestManager

When you run a script, TestManager creates a temporary suite, runs the suite, and removes the suite after the run is completed. You can run a script either from the TestManager Test Scripts window or from the TestManager File menu.

About this task

To generate test case results, run the test case instead of the script. When you run a script, TestManager does not generate test case coverage results (even if the script is associated with a test case).
