Test tool and methods for facilitating testing of a system managed event
First Claim
1. A method of presenting test results of a testcase employed to test a computer function of a plurality of nodes, said method comprising:
- passing system test results from a plurality of nodes to a test tool, wherein the system test results comprise multiple types of messages;
responsive to the passing, setting at least one display characteristic of at least one message based on message type; and
displaying the system test results, including the at least one message having the at least one display characteristic set based on message type.

Abstract
Test tool logic and testing methods are provided for facilitating testing a duplexed computer function, such as a duplexed coupling facility. The test tool allows a testcase written for a first environment to be automatically driven in a second environment, thereby facilitating testing of a function of the second environment. Other aspects include logic for intercepting a system event by a test tool to facilitate testing of system-managed event processing, and for adjusting a display characteristic of one or more messages to be displayed by the test tool based on message type. Further, logic for propagating an environmental error indication and for facilitating processing a wait state are also provided, as are several new test tool verbs and macros.
