Abstract:
A computer program product for monitoring progress of suites of tests being performed upon a target product, comprising:a computer useable code storage medium;a computer readable code embodied in said storage medium for causing a display of names of at least passing and failing suites of tests being performed on the target product, the computer readable code comprising:computer readable program code devices configured to cause checking at selected intervals of results of the tests being concurrently performed upon the target product as the results of the tests accrue during performance of the tests upon the target product, the results of individual ones of the tests indicating the tests performed upon the target product either to have passed or to have failed;computer readable program code devices configured to cause a computer to effect a display on a first portion of the display of a list of names of suites containing tests concurrently performed upon the target product as the results of the tests accrue during the performance of the tests upon the target product which all have been passed by the target product; andcomputer readable program code devices configured to cause a computer, concurrent to the display of the list of the names of the suites containing the tests which all have been passed by the target product, to effect a display on a second portion of the display of a list of names of suites containing tests concurrently performed upon the target product as the results of the tests accrue during the performance of the tests upon the target product, at least some of which have been failed by the target product, thereby to monitor progress of the test.
