Description Scott E. Schneider

This is a known issue but I wanted to record it to document the fact that the 
current implementation in the test execution harness does not support manual 
test types.  The reason that manual tests fail is because the resource field 
on a TPFBehaviorImpl object (theImplementor in the test execution harness 
code) is null.  In non-standalone mode (running a manual test using a manual 
launch configuration) the code that invokes the test execution harness 
prepares the TPFBehaviorImpl object by setting the resource field with an XML 
string (referred to in the code as the test script).

This problem can be fixed relatively easy by having the standalone mode code 
also set this resource field to a valid non-null value.  It appears that this 
issue will likely be addressed in the course of addressing bugzilla_74841.

Adding a dependency to bugzilla_74841 since the work will likely be done 
together and not before the dependent bugzilla entry is addressed.

I spoke with Paul about this already and this is on the horizon in the future. 
The ability to launch the new manual test client using the new test automation
features.  Re-assigning to Paul to add to his manual test plans.

P2 Highly desirable and planned for this release, but not stop ship 
normal A problem making a function difficult to use but no special work around 
is required

This has been indirectly fixed by the ant/batch support in TPTP 4.1.  Manual
test types can now be executed via a command line interface or an ant script. 
Refer to example.xml in the execution.core plug-in for some examples on test
execution usage.

Please re-assign to TPTP 4.1 i2 since it was fixed in this timeframe.

Closing by default since not closed by the originator in the 7+ months since being resolved.  

Please reopen if the issue is still present in the latest TPTP release or the resolution is not correct.
