After running and comparing a collection, you can review the test results with DTM's Review functions. These functions include updating test benchmarks and Display functions. If DTM finds differences during the comparison process, it creates and stores result and difference files. You can display these files; the benchmark file can also be displayed.

To review a collection, perform the following steps: 1. Create a Collection View. 2. Click on (highlight) the specific collection you want to review. 3. Pull down the Testing menu. 4. Choose the Review menu item and the Open submenu item. Once you open a collection, the database is locked. As primary reviewer, only you can update benchmarks. However, by clicking on the Read only button in the Review Collection dialog box, you become a read- only reviewer; you can display the contents of the collection, but you cannot update benchmarks.
