Test Expert
Determining Your Test Environment
¾
Quality Assurance module only.
You can use Test Expert to run tests on a clean machine, a baseline machine, or both.
The test environment you choose depends on your organization’s requirements. A clean
machine contains only the operating system, service packs, and runtimes of a typical
computer in your organization. A baseline machine contains the software packages that
are common to all computers in your organization, which replicates the environment
where the software will be running. Example: If all computers contain Microsoft Office, a
baseline machine should contain Microsoft Office.
You can test a package and then restore a clean or baseline machine to its original state
without reimaging it.
See Installing an Installation Test into a Virtual Software Layer on page 164.
Because Wise Package Studio cannot be installed on operating systems earlier than
Windows 2000, you cannot use Test Expert on these operating systems. If your target
computers include these operating systems, use another method for testing your
installations on these systems.
Testing on Multiple Computers
¾
Quality Assurance module only.
Some test cases in Test Expert might have to be run on multiple computers. (Example:
To test a launch condition that specifies Windows XP, you must install not only on a
computer running Windows XP, but also on a non-Windows XP computer.) To easily
switch computers, while providing easy access to test case information in Test Expert,
you can perform a Wise Package Studio Client installation.
See Installing the Professional Edition, Client in the Getting Started Guide.
