Creating or modifying the test script

You can use the Create Test Script section of the Integrated Test Client to create or modify test scripts for your monitor model. In the Create Test Script section you can add commands, including a command to import events when the script runs, and rearrange the commands in the test script.

1. Either create a new test script or open an existing test script.
   • To create a new script, click the Create new test script button at the top of the Create Test Script section.
   • To open an test script that you previously created in the Integrated Test Client, click the Open existing test script button. Browse to the directory where you put the script, select the script, and click Open.
2. To add events to the test script, perform one of the following steps:
   • To create new events, use the Add Values to Events section and then click Add to Test Script . See Creating sample events for testing. for more information. New events are added to the bottom of the test script. You can use the arrow buttons in the Create Test Script section to change the order of events in the script.
   • To import events when the script runs, either from an existing file or from the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) database, or by creating a file from previously recorded events, see Importing events for testing.
3. Add or modify the following commands as necessary to finish the test script:
   • To add a time delay, click Add Delay l You are prompted to specify the number of milliseconds that the script will sleep before proceeding to the next command.
   • To add a pause command, click Add Pause . When it reaches a pause command, the script stops until you either click Run Script to continue from the pause point or you select a command from the list and then click Run Script again to continue from the selected command.

If you select an event that you previously created in the Add Values to Events section and click Edit , the event data elements are loaded into the data tables in the Add Values to Events section. See Editing sample events for more information. After making your changes, click the Add Edited Values button under the tables to update the currently selected event in the script or Cancel Edit to cancel editing the event.
   • To remove an event or command from the test script, select the event or command, and click Remove .
4. To save the test script, use one of the following buttons:
   • To save the test script after creating it, click the Save test script as button at the top of the Test Script section. Browse to where you want to save the script and give it a name.
   • To save a test script while working on it (for example, after using the Edit button and editing the values of an event), click the Save test script button to save the updated script.
