• 3. Output window possibilities

Test suite 1: Hyperlinks Purpose: Compilation output contains linked errors to lines that contains them. Setup: Start IDE, create simple program with many compilation errors. # Test case Description 1 Hyperlinked Exceptions Compile the program. RESULT: Output of compilation (tab in window) contains hyperlinks to errors is the source. 2 Hyperlinked Exceptions try links Compile the program. Click on the first exception hyperlink in the Output window RESULT: Hyperlink is selected in Output. Line with error is selected and highlighted in the Source Editor. Source Editor is focused. 3 Hyperlinked Exceptions - Next Error Compile the program. Press F12, or Build->Next Error. RESULT: Hyperlink is selected in Output. Line with next error is selected and highlighted in the Source Editor. Source Editor is focused. 4 Hyperlinked Exceptions - Previous Error Compile the program. Press Shift+F12, or Build->Previous Error. RESULT: Hyperlink is selected in Output. Line with error is selected and highlighted in the Source Editor. Source Editor is focused. 5 Cursor changes over hyperlinked exceptions Compile the program with errors. Move with cursor over any exception hyperlink in the Output window RESULT: Cursor changes to 'hand' 6 Hyperlinked exception from method name substring of class name Execute the program: public class History {static public void updateHistory() {int a = 1/0;}public static void main(String[] args){updateHistory();}}. Wait for arising exception from runned application. RESULT: Line with error is hyperlinked.

Test suite 2: Try output from execution Purpose: Execution container is opened in Output Window and output from executed program is written to output. Setup: Start IDE, create simple program. # Test case Description 1 Never-ending loop - write to output each iteration Execute the program: int i=0; while(true) System.out.println(""+(i++));. Wait for opening Execution View in output window and opening tab for output from runned application. RESULT: It should be possible terminate program by popup in Execution View. 2 Hyperlinked exception from method name substring of class name Execute the program: public class History {static public void updateHistory() {int a = 1/0;}public static void main(String[] args){updateHistory();}}. Wait for arising exception from runned application. RESULT: Line with error is hyperlinked.

Test suite 3: Output window possibilities Purpose: Test possibilities of output window. Setup: Start IDE, execute simple program that prints one long line to output. # Test case Description 1 Copy Have any output in a Output window. Select some text in the Output window. Choose Copy from popup in Output window Choose Paste from popup in a editor window RESULT: The text is copied. 2 Find... Have any output in a Output window. Choose Find... from popup in Output window Try find a text in Output window RESULT: The text pattern is found. 3 Find Next Have any output in a Output window. Some text pattern repeats in the text Choose Find... from popup in Output window and specify the text pattern to find. Choose Find Next from popup in Output window again a few times. RESULT: The next text pattern occurency is found every time. 4 Wrap text Have any output in a Output window. Change window width to show vertical scrollbar.
