Basics

The Test Runner tab opens in the Run tool window when a testing session begins, and features the same toolbar buttons.

1. 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.
2. 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.

3. 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.
4. The Output pane shows the output of the current test suit.
5. The inline statistics show the list of executed tests with the execution time of each test.

Testing toolbar

Item	Tooltip and Shortcut	Description
	Show Passed	Click this button to show tests that passed successfully.
	Show Ignored	Click this button to show the ignored tests in the tree view of all tests within the current run/debug configuration or test class.
	Sort alphabetically	Click this button to sort tests in alphabetical order.
	Sort by duration	Click this button to sort tests by duration.
	Expand All/Collapse All Ctrl+NumPad Plus Ctrl+NumPad -	Click these buttons to have all nodes in the tree view of tests expanded. These buttons are only available if the tested application contains more than test case.
	Previous/Next Failed Test Ctrl+Alt+Up/Ctrl+Alt+Down	Click these buttons to navigate between the failed tests.
	Export Test Results	Click this button to have the results of the selected test saved in a file. In the Export Test Results that opens, specify the file to save the output in and the format in which the data will be saved. If you want to view the test results later, choose the XML format. To view the saved test results later, click and specify the XML file where they are stored.
	Click this cog button to access the context menu with the following options: Track Running Test: turn this option on 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. Show Inline Statistics: turn this option on to have the statistics shown next to a test result, displaying the time used for executing each test. Scroll to Stacktrace: turn this option on to have the console scroll to the beginning of the trace of the last failed test. If you click the root node (the test package) in the tree view with this option turned off, the console will show the very beginning of the test. 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. Open Source at Exception: use this option to explore the results of a test that fails as an error, throwing an uncaught exception. If you double-click the failed test class or method in the tree view with this option turned on, the respective test class or method will open in the editor, with the caret placed at the line that caused the problem. Autoscroll to Source: turn this option on to have the currently selected test in the tree view synchronized with the editor automatically. Set Auto Test Delay: point to this node to reveal the list of available delays between file saving and rerunning tests. The selected value gets the check mark. Select First Failed Test When Finished: turn this option on to have the first failed test automatically selected in the tree view upon completing the tests.
