Get started with Test Services

Test Services checks that your OpenLab CDS deployment works. In this tutorial, you run your first set of verification tests on a single machine and read the result. By the end, you will have produced a Summary report that shows whether the system passed.

This tutorial uses only the tests that need no license, so you can complete it on any OpenLab CDS machine.

Prerequisites

  • You need the user name and password that you use for OpenLab CDS.
  • The machine must have OpenLab CDS installed and be running normally.

Step 1: Open Test Services and log in​

Test Services runs in your browser and uses your OpenLab CDS credentials.

  1. In a supported browser, go to https://localhost/testservices. On a CDS Client, use https://localhost:52088/testservices instead.
  2. Enter your OpenLab CDS user name and password, then click Sign in.

The Test Services home page opens. It lists the tests recommended for this machine, and the System Status at the top reads Ready.

Step 2: Choose the tests to run​

For your first run, use the unlicensed tests that are available on every machine.

  1. Select the checkbox next to System Report.
  2. Select the checkbox next to OpenLab Software Installation Verification Test.

Each selected test shows a checkmark. You can run more tests later (see Run verification tests).

Step 3: Run the tests​

Start the run from the home page once the tests are selected.

  1. Click Start.

The System Status changes to Running and shows the number of tests queued. Test Services starts the selected tests and shows their progress.

Step 4: Watch the run progress​

The Execution Details page shows each test as it runs.

  1. Open the Execution Details page.
  2. Watch each test move through its states: Pending, In Progress, then Completed.

When every test finishes, the System Status returns to Ready and the overall result appears.

Step 5: Read the Summary report​

The Summary report collects the outcome of the whole run.

  1. Return to the home page.
  2. Next to Last result, click the result link to open the reports panel.
  3. Click the Summary report name to download it. (To download every report at once, use the Download all reports as a zip row.)

The Summary report shows the overall result (Passed when every test passed), along with the machine name, the time of the run, and a section for each test. A healthy deployment produces Passed.

You have now run and reviewed your first verification. To learn what each result means, see Test result statuses.
