Working With Test Groups
You can create test groups based on your customized test settings. These are similar to
templates because they allow you to reuse your test settings without having to change
each setting individually. After choosing a test group, you can still change its settings.
There are two sets of test groups, which change based on the type of AXD tools run by
the Xserve. If you’re testing a client Xserve that’s running AXD EFI tools, the test groups
are different than if you’re testing an Xserve running AXD Mac OS X tools.
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.
