Running a System Plan

Load up the file to run by choosing File..Open. This will validate the file and display the test tab that will highlight the over all status of the plan.

It will determine how many WeeBadgers it requires to run the plan. It doesn't matter if the number of WeeBadgers isn't yet available, the test will not run until the WeeBadgers are available and assigned.

The test plan may call for specific operating systems. Again, the test plan will not begin execution until the all scheduling criteria has been specified. If for any reason one of the WeeBadgers cease to communicate before the test plan has started, the scheduling process will wait for another to become available. If the WeeBadger dies during a test run, then the plan is deemed a failure.

To assign WeeBadgers, press the [INIT] button. This will popup a small window and wait until all the WeeBadgers have been found. Once assigned, the WeeBadger's are secured to this plan as long as the plan remains open in the MasterBadger. This lets you repeat the tests again and again with the precise same hardware.

Running the test press [START] button. This will start the plan by first assigning all the dynamic variables and then passing the necessary plan details to each WeeBadger. The execution of the state machine then begins tracking the time it took to execute each plan. All console output from each WeeBadger is available in a single scroll panel, or you can view a given WeeBadger's output by looking at its pane.
