Working with Test Groups

You can create test groups based on your customized test settings. These are similar to templates because they allow you to reuse your test settings without having to change each setting individually. After choosing a test group, you can still change its settings.

There are several test groups included with Server Diagnostics Mac OS X. These test groups stop when an error occurs, and they aren’t looped.

Test group

Test selections

Default

All memory, fan, hard drive, sensor, SMC PID

 

sensor, and power supply tests. Ethernet

 

MAC address verification and ROM checksum

 

verification.

 

 

Quick Test

All sensor tests.

 

 

You can also export a test group to a file. By exporting a test group, you can use that file to re-create that test group on other Server Diagnostics installations. For example, if you install Server Diagnostics Mac OS X on several servers, you can copy the test group file to each of them, making identical tests available without having to manually create a new test group.
