Manual or automated testing

 

There are two ways you can use Memory Validator for regression testing:

 

•Manual (interactive) testing of a session with any previous session
 

Interactively comparing sessions allows a flexible approach in looking for regressions (or improvements!).

 

This frequently forms part of the day-to-day development process.

 

•Automated testing, comparing against a baseline session

 

Compare the results of multiple independent test runs against the baseline and create a suite of results to act on.

 

Often part of a continuous quality assurance program, especially where test suites can run to many thousands of tests.

 

 

Need some help building the command line?

 

If you find creating command lines from nothing to be a bit daunting we've created a Command Line Builder tool to help you build command lines.

 

You'll still need to complete some details, but the builder will help prevent you making some mistakes.

 

 

Command Lines and Floating Licences

 

Memory Validator works from the GUI and from the command line with all types of software licence (floating licences and non-floating licences).

 

When floating licences are being used Memory Validator will wait to acquire a floating licence before proceeding to process the command line options.

 

There are no options to:

•Checkout a floating licence

•Release a floating licence

•Query for available licences

 

These options are managed automatically by Memory Validator, there is no need for such options to be manually controlled from the command line.
