- a detailed html logfile shows test results and supporting screenshots as the tests progress
- test results files are optionally copied to a central server
- there is a summary file to facilitate integration of results into inventory control systems
Notes
=====
- download the script related files:
- download wasp.dll from: - put wasp.dll in the same directory as the .ps1 file
- you may have to unblock downloaded files
- from windows explorer, right click on each file, select properties, click the Unblock button
- if you are deploying this script as part of a PC image, it is best to turn on
powershell scripts in the registry via the supplied .reg file
- if you are using the default windows user account control setting, then you will need to
open the powershell window by right clicking and selecting the Run as Administrator option
- if the script does not have administrator privileges, some of the tests will fail, the error
messages will flag the administrator privilege issue
- if you have changed the user account control setting to be more permissive, there is a .bat
file to run the tests from windows explorer
- if you uncomment line 34 of the .bat file, it will also update the registry entry needed to
enable powershell scripts
- for more details and options, in a powershell window, type: ./test-apps.ps1 -h
