  1. The progress bar shows the percentage of tests executed so far.
  2. The color of the status bar indicates whether the tests have passed successfully. If at least one of the tests fails, the status bar turns red.
  3. The left-hand pane shows the tree view of all tests within the current run/debug configuration.
    • The root node represents the test case selected to run.
    • The nested nodes represent the hierarchy of test suites and test cases.
    • The leaf nodes represent the individual tests.
    The status of each test is indicated by an icon. Double-click a node to open the respective test class or test method in the editor.
  4. The testing toolbar provides controls that enable you to monitor the tests and analyze results. Some of the commands are duplicated on the context menus of the test tree nodes and the entries in the Statistics pane.
  5. The Output pane shows the output of the current test suit.
  6. The Statistics pane shows the list of executed tests with the time used for executing each test and the test result.

projectToolWindowSettingsIcon Click this cog button to access the context menu with the following options:
  • Track Running Test - select this option to monitor execution of the current test. If a test suite contains multiple tests, the tree view of tests expands to show sequential test methods, as they are executed.
  • Select First Failed Test When Finished - select this option to have the first failed test automatically selected in the tree view upon completing the tests.
  • Scroll to Stacktrace - select this option to have the console scroll to the beginning of the trace of the last failed test.
    If the option is not selected and you click the root node (the test package) in the tree view, the console will show the very beginning of the test.

    Tip

    This option is helpful when a test package contains multiple test classes and test methods. If some of the tests fail, you can scroll in the console to the beginning of a stack trace of an exception or assertion.

  • Autoscroll to Source - select this option to have the currently selected test in the tree view synchronized with the editor automatically.
  • Open Source at Exception - use this option to explore the results of a test that fails as an error, throwing an uncaught exception.
    If this option is selected and you double-click the failed test class or method in the tree view, the respective test class or method will open in the editor, with the caret placed at the line that caused the problem.
  • Show Statistics - select this option to have the Statistics pane opened, displaying a list of executed tests with the time used for executing each test and the test result.
