Using TestLog Web Access

Currently with the CGI version of TestLog you can view all items in a database, graphical reports will be converted to a textual representation, and edit Test Cases and Project Test Cases. You can not add new items, delete or move existing items.

Before you can view or edit items in a database you will need to log in. Your tester ID will need to be setup for remote access as show in the Installing TestLog Web Access section and your password set. To login simply enter you test ID and password into the fields when prompted and click the login button. If you are inactive for longer than the set time (default of 1 hour) your session will have timed out and you will need to log in again. Your browser will need to be configured to accept cookies from the site where TestLog is being hosted otherwise you will not be able to log in.

When viewing a database through the TestLog CGI using a browser, the available actions and current location within a database will be displayed at the top of the page. Clicking on one of the location links will display that item. The available "Actions" will change depending on the item type being viewed, all items will display the "Print" action, Test Cases and Project Test Cases will display an additional "Edit" option when viewing and item and a "Cancel Edit" option when editing an item. "Cancel Edit" will return to view the current item and delete the lock file that was created when the item was opened for editing. Avoid using the back button or other navigation when editing a file as this will leave the file locked.

"Home" will return the user  to the list of available databases.

"Configure" will display the configuration page, allowing the user to select which template they wish to use from the available templates.

"Help" will display the help page.

"Log Out" will log a user out from ALL databases they have previously logged into.

Every time a tester attempts to access a database they will be prompted to log in if they haven't already done so or their session has timed out. A session will time out once an hour has passed without any activity from a tester.
