The add-on contributes a Run XSpec test scenarios button on the main toolbar. Click that button to execute an XSpec file and open its results in the XSpec Test Results view. At this point you can do the following:
  • Switch to the XSLT and use the Run buttons in this view to execute a particular scenario.
  • For each test, there is also a Show button that selects the corresponding test in the main editing area.
  • For failed tests, you can click a particular test to open a diff comparison between the expected and actual results.
