Using AXD Tools

27

When you create or delete a test group, that test group is created or deleted in the set
of test groups you’re currently using. For example, if you create a test group for Xserves
running AXD Mac OS X tools, it doesn’t become available for Xserves running AXD EFI
tools.

There are several test groups included with AXD. These test groups stop when an error
occurs and aren’t looped.

You can also export a test group to a file. By exporting a test group, you can use that
file to re-create that test group on other AXD installations. For example, if you install
AXD Mac OS X tools on several Xserves, you can copy the test group file to each of
those Xserves, making identical tests available without having to manually create a
new test group.

To work with test groups:

In AXD Mac OS X tools, choose the options you want.
