Description

Starts a new test task based on a set of criteria provided via parameters or piped input and either waits for the tests to run or returns immediately depending on how it is called. When running a test suite and providing a target object for that suite, the service will discover related objects by default, but this behavior may be disabled if desired.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Create and start a task with a single test and no target object.

$singleSimpleTestTask = Start-EnvTestTask -TestId Monitor_RegisteredWithConfigurationService
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 2

Create and start a task with a single test and no target object, with localized properties translated into Spanish.

$singleSimpleTestTaskInSpanish = Start-EnvTestTask -TestId Monitor_RegisteredWithConfigurationService -CultureName es-ES
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 3

Create and start a task with a single test suite and no target object.

$singleSimpleTestSuiteTask = Start-EnvTestTask -TestSuiteId Infrastructure
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 4

Create and start a task with a single test suite and a catalog target object.

$singleTestSuiteTask = Start-EnvTestTask -TestSuiteId Catalog -TargetIdType Catalog -TargetId $(Get-BrokerCatalog).Uuid
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 5

Create and start a task with a single test suite and a catalog target object, and return immediately not waiting for the tests to complete.

$singleTestSuiteTask = Start-EnvTestTask -TestSuiteId Catalog -TargetIdType Catalog -TargetId $(Get-BrokerCatalog).Uuid -RunAsynchronously
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 6

Create and start a task with a single test, a target object for that test, and no object discovery based on that target.

$adAccountPool = Get-AcctIdentityPool
$singleTestTaskWithNoObjectDiscovery = StartEnvTestTask -IgnoreRelatedObjects -TestId ADIdentity_IdentityPool_ValidatePoolIsUnlocked -TargetIdType IdentityPool -TargetId $adAccountPool.IdentityPoolUid
<!--NeedCopy-->

EXAMPLE 7

Create two different discovery target definitions, put them in an array, then start a task based on both via -InputObject.

$singleSimpleTestSuiteTaskTarget = New-EnvTestDiscoveryTargetDefinition -TestSuiteId Infrastructure
$singleTestSuiteTaskTarget = New-EnvTestDiscoveryTargetDefinition -TestSuiteId Catalog -TargetIdType Catalog -TargetId $(Get-BrokerCatalog).Uuid
$inputObjects = @($singleSimpleTestSuiteTaskTarget, $singleTestSuiteTaskTarget)
Start-EnvTestTask -InputObject $inputObjects
<!--NeedCopy-->

Parameters

-TestId

Test identifiers. If specified, do not specify -TestSuiteId.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: Empty
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-TestSuiteId

Test suite identifiers. If specified, do not specify -TestId.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: Empty
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-InputObject

One or more test targets defining the task, see Input Types for details about what kind of objects are permissible. Any valid object passed to this parameter may also be piped into this cmdlet.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: Empty
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-TargetId

The Ids that object tests or tests suites will target. By default, other components are queried for objects related to these.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: Empty
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Default value: False
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-RunAsynchronously

Do not wait for the test run to complete, return immediately.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: False
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-ExcludeNotRunTests

If set, tests that are not run because no object matching their requirements is found are NOT included in test counts and results.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: False (include Not Run tests)
Required: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
