Saving a Test

Once you have set up a test using the Integrity Manager Wizard, you can save your settings to a file. This enables you to execute the same test at a later time without having to re-create the test. For example, a metric currently being developed is causing errors in several reports. You can execute a test on those reports to check whether the metric still causes execution errors. Saving the test settings makes it easy to run this test once the latest version of the metric is ready.

For security reasons, the passwords for project logins (provided on the Enter Base Project Information page and Enter Target Project Information page) are not saved to the test file. You must re-enter these passwords when you load the test.

To Save Test Settings

1. Start > All Programs > MicroStrategy > Integrity Manager.
2. Select the File menu > Create Test.
3. Step through the Integrity Manager Wizard based on the type of test that you want to create.
   • Project-versus-project integrity test
   • Baseline-versus-project integrity test
   • Baseline-versus-baseline integrity test
   • Single-project integrity test
4. Click Save Test. By default this file will save with an extension of .mtc.
5. Click OK.
6. Click Run to execute test. The results of each execution appear in the Results Summary area of the Integrity Manager interface. For detailed information about the results of the test, see Viewing the results of a test.
