Test selection and duty cycles

Displays the test set-up dialog window that allows a subset of tests to be selected for execution and a duty cycle to be set for each test. (see Chapter 5 for more details)

 

Test Preferences

This option allows the user to customize some aspects of the way BurnInTest works. See the description of the preferences dialog box (Chapter 4) for more details.

 

Load Config

A test configuration that has been previously saved to disk can be loaded using this menu option. The loaded configuration will set all the parameters available in the test duty cycles and test preferences windows (see above) to the values contained within the file. Using this menu option in conjunction with the Save Config as function it is possible to create a number of standard test configurations. See section 0, Maintaining multiple test configurations, for more information.

 

Save Config as

This option allows the current configuration settings to be stored in a file for later use. All the values available in the test duty cycles and test preferences windows (see above) will be saved into a file, whose name is selected by the user. Using this menu option in conjunction with the Load config function it is possible to create a number of standard test configurations. See section 0, Maintaining multiple test configurations, for more information. Saved configuration files can also be loaded automatically by including them on the command line.

 

Test

Start test run

Runs the tests selected in the Test duty cycles window. Each test will be run in its own window using its own execution thread. This allows multiple tests to be executed simultaneously. The results from each test are summarized in the main window. Depending on what tests are being started, the speed of the machine and the selected duty cycles; the tests may take several seconds to start.

After tests have been started the menus and buttons are Greyed out, and no another actions can take place until the tests are stopped manually or automatically.

 

Stop test run

Stops all the tests that are currently running. It may take several seconds to stop all the tests, remove test files from the disk and de-allocate system resources. If one of the test windows is the active window, Alt-F4 can also be used to stop all the tests. Individual tests cannot be stopped after they have been started, as all tests will be stopped at the same time.

 

Execute script

Load a script file to execute, see scripting for more information.
