Customizing AXD Mac OS X Test Settings
You can customize AXD test settings in several ways by choosing which tests are run,
whether to loop tests, and whether to stop or continue testing when an error occurs.
To customize AXD Mac OS X tools test settings:
1
In AXD Mac OS X tools, select the test settings you want.
2
To save your customized test settings for future use, in the Test Group pop-up menu,
choose Save Current Group. Enter a name for the group and click OK.
To do this
Do this
Choose which tests are run
In the Test Selections list, do the following:
 To select a test, select the checkbox next to the test.
 To select a specific test within a category of tests, click the
disclosure triangle next to the category, and then select
individual tests.
 To select all tests, click the Select All (+) button.
 To remove all tests, click the Deselect All (–) button.
Loop all selected tests
Select “Loop tests by,” and then do the following:
 To loop all selected tests a specific number of times, select Count
and enter a number of times to loop.
 To loop all selected tests for a specific amount of time, select
Time and enter the number of hours and minutes to loop. When
the specified time is reached, the current loop must complete
before the tests stop. For example, if one loop of your test set
takes 2 hours to complete and your specified time is 3 hours, AXD
stops testing in 4 hours. (Instead of stopping at 3, it waits for the
current test set loop to complete before stopping.)
Change what to do when an
error occurs
In the On Error pop-up menu, do the following:
 To stop testing when the first error occurs, choose Stop.
 To continue testing when errors occur, choose Continue.
