Customizing Server Diagnostics Mac OS X Test Settings

You can customize Server Diagnostics test settings in several ways by choosing which tests are run, whether to loop tests, and whether to stop or continue testing when an error occurs.

To customize Server Diagnostics Mac OS X test settings:

1In Server Diagnostics Mac OS X, select the test settings you want.

To do this	Do this
Choose which tests are run	In the Test Selections list, do the following:
	ÂÂ	To select a test, select the checkbox next to
		the test.
	ÂÂ	To select a specific test within a category of
		tests, click the disclosure triangle next to the
		category, and then select individual tests.
	ÂÂ	To select all tests, click the Select All (+) button.
	ÂÂ	To remove all tests, click the Deselect All (–)
		button.
Loop all selected tests	Select “Loop tests by,” and then do the following:
	ÂÂ	To loop selected tests a specific number of
		times, select Count and enter a number of
		times to loop.
	ÂÂ	To loop selected tests for a specific amount
		of time, select Time and enter the number of
		hours and minutes to loop. When the specified
		time is reached, the current loop must
		complete before the tests stop. For example,
		if one loop of your test set takes 2 hours to
		complete and your specified time is 3 hours,
		Server Diagnostics Mac OS X stops testing in
		4 hours. (Instead of stopping at 3, it waits for
		the current test set loop to complete before
		stopping.)
Change what to do when an error occurs	In the On Error pop-up menu, do the following:
	ÂÂ	To stop testing when the first error occurs,
		choose Stop.
	ÂÂ	To continue testing when errors occur, choose
		Continue.

2To save your customized test settings for future use, in the Test Group pop-up menu, choose Save Current Group, enter a name for the group, and click OK.

For more information, see “Working with Test Groups” on page 33.

3To run the test, click Start Testing.

When the test completes, a PASSED or FAILED message appears on screen.

4Click anywhere to close the message.
