Running a test
A test is run using the
gpRunTest
command. It is started with options that tell it where to read the
test configuration information and some other bits. See
examples from command's
manual page for how to use the command.
Usually a test goes like this:
- Go to the test directory.
- Run the test with the gpRunTest command.
- The test reads the parameters needed
by the test (test items, samples, UI parameters), creates
the subject UI window, etc.
- Test items are played to the subject and answers from the
subject are saved.
- When all items have been played the
results are
written to a file. The file contains java objects
containing copies of test items and corresponding answers
from the subject. The results can be converted to a text
file with
result processing
tools.
If an error occurs during the test, the system tries to save as much
as it can (the items finished in the session).
For more complete instructions, see the
manual page of gpRunTest.
