To do this
Do this
Choose which tests are run
In the Test Selections list, do the following:
Â
To select a test, select the checkbox next to
the test.
Â
To select a specific test within a category of
tests, click the disclosure triangle next to the
category, and then select individual tests.
Â
To select all tests, click the Select All (+) button.
Â
To remove all tests, click the Deselect All (–)
button.
Loop all selected tests
Select “Loop tests by,” and then do the following:
Â
To loop all selected tests a specific number
of times, select Count and enter a number of
times to loop.
Â
To loop all 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:
Â
To stop testing when the first error occurs,
choose Stop.
Â
To continue testing when errors occur, choose
Continue.
