Monitor button in the Test Expert toolbar to maximize it. Do not close the
Application Monitor window until you finish testing.

window.
Note
It is important to close the Application Monitor window after closing the application,
because monitoring of your system continues until the window is closed.

interpreting the results, see the individual test case descriptions.
9. When the test is finished, select the status for each test item based on your visual
verification of the test results.

Expert, including all background applications and services that might access files or
registry entries on the testing computer.

must change the status for each item manually.
During this test, you check whether any unexpected files are accessed by the
application. You also see whether files were unable to be accessed by the application,
