To view and compare OAM diagnostic test results on the STM

Steps

Perform this procedure to view the results of multiple OAM diagnostic tests accessible on the STM. You can also use this procedure to compare two test results from the same type of test.

 
1 

Choose Tools→Service Test Manager (STM) from the NFM-P main menu. The Service Test Manager (STM) form opens.

2 

Choose the required test result type. Click on the object drop-down and expand one of the following menu item until the required test results type appears.

  1. Test Result (Assurance) — contains the test results from almost all test types that have been run.

  2. Test Suite Result (Assurance) — contains the test results from all STM test suites that have been run.

  3. Archived Test Results (Assurance) — contains the test results from all individual tests that have been run and archived.

  4. One Time Validation Results (Assurance) — contains the test results from all One Time Validation tests that have been run.

3 

Choose the required test results type and click Search. The list of test results is displayed.

4 

Choose a test result and click Properties. The test results form opens.

5 

Click on the tabs to view the test results. You can click View beside an object to open the properties form for that object. Alternatively, click View Test, or View Test Object, to view the required information.

6 

To compare results from two tests of the same type, perform one of the following:

  1. Choose two test results and click Compare. The Compare form opens. Go to Step 8.

  2. Choose one test result and click Compare. This allows you compare the selected test result with a test result from a test results archive. The Compare form opens.

  3. Click Compare without choosing any test results. This allows you to select two test results for comparison from a test results archive. The Compare form opens.

The Compare form displays two object fields at the top. If you performed Step 6 a, then these two fields will be populated with the names of the chosen tests. If you performed either of Step 6 b or Step 6 c, then one or both of the fields will be blank.

7 

Select the test results to assign as Object A and Object B, as required.

  1. Click Select beside the required field. The Select Object form opens.

  2. Choose the Test Result type from the drop-down selector and click Search. You can choose a regular or archived test result. A list of test results is displayed.

  3. Choose a test result and click OK. The Select Object form closes and the Compare form displays the selection.

    When one of the Object fields is populated and you want to populate the other, then the list displays only the required type of test results, either regular or archived.

8 

Click Compare. The comparison is performed and an entry appears in the list.

The Swap button allows you to interchange the names in the Object fields without having to reselect the test results. This is useful when organizing the order in which results are compared in the list.

9 

Choose the entry and click Properties. The Difference form is displayed, with the differences between specific properties listed. The Value A column shows the property value in Object A and the Value B column shows the value of the same property in Object B.

The names of the test (Class Name) and test objects are displayed in the field on the right.

10 

View the information and close the forms.
