Concepts of ViewCheck
This section explains terminology and keywords used extensively in ViewCheck services.
2.1 Test Identification
Unique Test identification is based on following triple key:
< Device Category, Test ID, Device Instance >
2.2 Device Category
The Device Category is an enumerated value, reused from similar enumeration already defined
in the HPI-B Standard specification.
It is used to express commonly used devices, such as Storage, Network, Serial, CPU, and
Memory, available on all the blades, irrespective of function and architecture. This category is
used in commands as one of the key fields to identify uniquely a particular test.
Device Category allows for:
 Grouping of test cases per category for display and statistical purposes
 Reuse of Test IDs across the device categories
2.3 Test ID
Test ID is an integer value that uniquely identifies the actual test that can be invoked or
executed on a hardware device instance, which belongs to a specific device category available
on the blade. Following are the examples of tests that can be executed on the devices.
 Ping Flood test
 Network connectivity test in case of Network Device Category
Each of these tests would be associated with a unique Test Identifier (Test ID).
These Test IDs start with value ’0’ and increases linearly for various sub-tests in a device
category.
