Monitoring Test Status

While SunVTS is testing the system, you can view the progress of the test by monitoring the main SunVTS display and through log files.

Testing Progress in the Panels

There are four main panels to view while monitoring the testing progress; the System Status panel, System Map, Performance Meter, and the Console window.

System Status Panel

The System Status panel displays the current activity of the SunVTS kernel. For example, the status can be idle (when not testing), testing, or stopped (when the maximum number of errors is reached, or when you stop the testing).

This panel also displays the total number of successful system passes (a system pass is when all tests have been run once), and the total number of errors from all tests. The total elapsed time is also displayed on this panel.

System Map

This panel displays the status of all selected tests. The status of each selected test is listed as follows:

• The Passes count shows how many times the test has completed a run.

• The Errors count shows how many times the test exited with an error. If the test has an asterisk (*) by it, that test is currently being run.

• The letter "T" is displayed next to the test name when Trace mode is active. While monitoring this panel, you'll notice that some tests take longer to run than others.

• The CDE interface indicates the current state of the devices under test where:

  • Black indicates that the device is not tested

  • Green indicates that at least one test pass completed with no errors detected

  • Red indicates that at least one error has been detected

Console Panel

The Console panel displays the messages sent from the tests and SunVTS kernel. If you enabled verbose messages or system call trace messages on one or more tests, the messages appear in this window. Use the scrollbar to view these messages.

Performance Meter

This panel displays the performance statistics of the system you are testing. See "Meter Button" and the"OPEN LOOK Performance Meter" in for details.
