Creating and running an automated control test

From the left menu, select Controls or Labels.

Select the control or label containing the proof you want to test.

Select the Tests tab.

Click New test.

The Automated Test window opens.

From the Hypersync drop-down menu, select the appropriate Hypersync and proof. If you are configuring a test on a control the list of Hypersyncs and pieces of proof include Hypersyncs configured on the control and on any linked labels. If you are configuring a test on a label only the Hypersyncs configured on the label are included.

Below Test ID, enter the test's ID number. Test IDs must be unique.

Below Test Name, enter a name for the test.

From the Empty proof behavior drop-down menu, specify what should happen if linked proof doesn’t include any data. The default result is Failed. Options include:

Below Test Cases, do the following:

1. Enter a name for the test case.

2. Click the drop-down in the Add condition button and select one of the following:

   • Add condition to add a single field to the test case and test its value.

   • Add relative condition to add two fields to the test case and compare their values, such as two date fields.

3. From the Select field drop-down menu, select a field name from the proof being tested.

4. From the Select comparator drop-down menu, select an operator.

   Tip

   For more information on fields and operators, see Automated testing: Hypersync proof fields and operators.

5. If you selected Add condition: In the Enter text value field, enter a value. You may need to enter a start date if you selected the Activity start time field. Note that the Enter text value field disappears if you selected the is empty or is not empty operators.

6. If you selected Add a relative condition: From the second Select field drop-down menu, select a name of the field you want to compare from the proof being tested.

   Note

   You can only compare fields that are the same data type. For example, if you selected a date field in the first Select field drop-down, only date fields are available in the second Select field drop-down.

7. Optionally, click the drop-down on the Add condition button again and select Add condition or Add a relative condition to add another condition. Repeat as necessary.

8. From the drop-down menu next to then test case, select a result.

   1. Passed - The control is performing as it should and is considered to be in good shape.

   2. Failed - The control is not performing as it should.

   3. Needs review - It’s unclear if the control passed or failed, so it needs to be manually reviewed.

9. Click New to create additional test cases. A maximum of 10 cases are allowed.

10. Optionally, enter a note in the Notes field.

If the test fails or needs review, Hyperproof automatically generates a new task. If you don't want Hyperproof to automatically create a new task, clear the New repeating task checkbox.

If you choose to create a new task, you can define the task, including the task owner and the triggering event, such as if the test fails or needs review.

Hyperproof only generates one new task for each piece of proof that fails. If you re-run the test with the same proof, and the test fails or needs to be reviewed, Hyperproof does not generate an additional task. A new task is only created if the test fails or needs to be reviewed after additional proof is imported into Hyperproof via the Hypersync.

Click Save.

The Run test window opens.

Select the proof you want the test to be run against.
