Selecting Test Groups and Individual Tests

You can select entire test groups or individual tests. The test mode and tests that you choose to run depend on your desired test strategy.

For example, if you are using SunVTS to troubleshoot intermittent SCSI bus errors you might choose to test the entire SCSI group in Functional Test mode to thoroughly test the whole subsystem. Then you might select specific SCSI devices to see which device reproduces the error.

In another example, you might want to validate a newly installed system before you put it in production. In this case you would choose to test all the groups in Functional mode for a specified period of time.

If you want to verify the connectivity of a particular device such as an option card, peripheral, or communication device, you might choose the Connection Test mode for that device.

The method used to select a test or group of tests varies based on the SunVTS user interface that you are using. For more information refer to one of the following sections:

• CDE user interface-"To Select Devices for Testing"

• OPEN LOOK user interface--"Using the OPEN LOOK Test Selection Panel"

• TTY user interface--"Selecting Tests and Test Groups"
