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

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

-   Verify you installed demo data when you installed Vulnerability Response. Demo data is required to run the Vulnerability Response test suite.
-   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 **Vulnerability Response** in the header, or the scope is not displayed in the header, click the settings icon at the top of the page in the browser window \[Omitted image "vr-gear-icon.png"\] Alt text: Gear 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 **Vulnerability Response** for the field.

        The field is displayed as shown in the following image.
