# Run the Automated Test Framework \(ATF\) test suite for Container Vulnerability Response

Run the Automated Test Framework \(ATF\) test suite after you install or upgrade the Container Vulnerability Response application.

## Before you begin

Confirm a successful installation and that your instance works as designed.

The test execution property is disabled by default to prevent running tests on a production system. Run tests only on development, test, and other non-production instances. If demo data or demo accounts are created, all demo data should be removed prior to using the instance in non-production or production.

-   To enable the test, follow these steps:
    1.  Navigate to **All** > **Automated Test Framework \(ATF\)** > **Administration** > **Properties**.
    2.  If not selected, select the **Enable test/test suite execution** check box.
    3.  Click **Save**.
    4.  If the scope is not set to **Container Vulnerability Response** in the header, or the scope is not displayed in the header, click the settings icon.
    5.  In the System Settings window, click **Developer**.
    6.  If not selected, click **Show application picker in header** and close the window.
    7.  In the list that is displayed next to `System Administrator`, click **Container Vulnerability Response** for the field.

Role required: admin or atf\_test\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Automated Test Framework \(ATF\)** > **Tests**.

2.  From the Package list, locate **Vulnerability Response and Configuration Compliance for Containers**.

3.  Select a test to open the record.

4.  In the open record, select the **Active** check box.

5.  In the Test Steps related list, select true in the Active column.

6.  Click **Update**.

7.  Open the test again and click **Enable tests and test suite execution here**.

8.  Enable Test/ Test Suite Properties and Test Debugging Properties.

9.  Click **Save**.

10. If the **Run Test** button is not displayed, refresh your screen, open the record again and click **Run Test** to start the test.

    After a few moments, the Run Test dialog indicates a successful test. Click **Go to Result** for more information.
