Purpose

The module Tester contains many tools to check modules for a number of typical programming errors, lazy programming, old style concepts, memory leaks, memory block exceeds and many more.

The Tester also runs module checks so that a large number of module parameters and situations are covered which typically cannot be tested by hand.

Usage

  1. Create a Tester module.
  2. Specify the modules your want to test. You can do that by creating a field connection from Connect Modules from Here to any field of the modules to be tested and then by pressing Get Connected Modules to create the list of modules to be tested. Alternatively you can use the button Get Runtime Modules to get all module types registered in the runtime type system or Get Instantiated Modules to get the current module instances.
  3. Select the tests to be applied in Tests to Run the Preferences Panel of the Tester module.
  4. Use Test Presets to set some limit for testing times and for image sizes to be used.
  5. Exclude those modules in Do Not Test which shall not be tested.
  6. Use Start Testing / Stop Testing and/or Reset Tests to apply the tests to the selected modules.
  7. Have a look to the Report and the Messages fields for test results.

If pressed, all modules registered to the runtime type system are being added to the list of modules to be tested.

Get Instantiated Modules

name: getInstantiatedModules, type: Trigger

If pressed, all instantiated modules are being added to the list of modules to be tested.

Max Voxels for Test Images

name: imgSizeLimit, type: Integer, default: 32768

Enable Standard Compliance Tests

name: enableStandardComplianceTests, type: Trigger

If pressed, all standard compliance tests are being enabled.

Test Field Types

name: testFieldTypes, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the correct initialization of field types is being checked.

Test Field References

name: testFieldReferences, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, it is tested whether fields use deprecated value references.

If checked, it is tested if the page extents are set to reasonable values.

Test New Delete

name: testNewDelete, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, each module is added to and then deleted from the network to check for memory leaks.

Test Instantiation

name: testInstantiation, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, eacj module is instantiated on a network.
