Introduction to Custom Test Script Types
|

Built-In Test Script Types
When a TestManager user plays back (executes) a test script, test case, or suite, the playback component of TestManager, the Test Script Execution Engine (TSEE), calls the Test Script Execution Adapter (TSEA) associated with each type of test script in the suite. As released, TestManager supports execution of the test script types listed and described in the table on the next page.
