-Getting Started
----------------
-
-[partintro]
-.Getting started with Megatest
---
-Creating a testsuite or flow and your first test or task.
---
-
-After installing Megatest you can create a flow or testsuite and add some
-tests using the helpers. Here is a quickstart sequence to get you up and
-running your first automated testsuite.
-
-Creating a Megatest Area
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Choose Target Keys
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-First choose your "target" keys. These are used to organise your runs in a
-way that is meaningful to your project. If you are unsure about what to use
-for keys just use a single generic key such as "RUNTYPE". These keys will be
-used to hand values to your tests via environment variables so ensure they
-are unique. Prefixing them with something such as PROJKEYS_ is a good
-strategy. 
-
-Examples of keys:
-
-.Example keys
-[width="60%",options="header"]
-|==============================================
-| Option            | Description
-| RELEASE/ITERATION | This example is used by Megatest for its internal QA.
-| ARCH/OS/RELEASE   | For a software project targeting multiple platforms
-| UCTRLR/NODETYPE   | Microcontroller project with different controllers
-running same software
-|==============================================
-
-Create Area Config Files
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-You will need to choose locations for your runs (the data generated every
-time you run the testsuite) and link tree. For getting started answer the
-prompts with "runs" and "links". We use the Unix editor "vi" in the examples
-below but you can use any plain text editor.
-
-.Using the helper to create a Megatest area
-------------------
-megatest -create-megatest-area
-
-# optional: verify that the settings are ok
-vi megatest.config
-vi runconfigs.config
-------------------
-
-Creating a Test
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Choose the test name for your first test and run the helper. You can edit
-the files after the initial creation. You will need to enter names and
-scripts for the steps to be run and then edit the
-tests/<testname>/testconfig file and modify the logpro rules to properly
-process the log output from your steps. For your first test just hit enter
-for the "waiton", "priority" and iteration variable prompts.
-
-Hint: for geting started make your logpro rules very liberal. expect:error
-patterns should match nothing and comment out expect:required rules.
-
-.Using the helper to create a Megatest test
----------------
-megatest -create-test myfirsttest
-
-# then edit the generated config
-vi tests/myfirsttest/testconfig
----------------
-
-Running your test
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-First choose a target and runname. If you have a two-place target such as
-RELEASE/ITERATION a target would look like v1.0/aff3 where v1.0 is the
-RELEASE and aff3 is the ITERATION. For a run name just use something like
-run1. 
-
-.Running all tests (testpatt of "%" matches all tests)
----------------
-megatest -run -target v1.0/aff3 -runname run1 -testpatt % -log run1.log
----------------
-
-Viewing the results
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Start the dashboard and browse your run in the "Runs" tab.

-How To Do Things
-----------------
-
-Process Runs
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Remove Runs
-^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-From the dashboard click on the button (PASS/FAIL...) for one of the tests. From the test control panel that 
-comes up push the clean test button. The command field will be prefilled with a template command for removing 
-that test. You can edit the command, for example change the argument to -testpatt to "%" to remove all tests.
-
-.Remove the test diskperf and all it's items
-----------------
-megatest -remove-runs -target ubuntu/nfs/none -runname ww28.1a -testpatt diskperf/% -v
-----------------
-
-.Remove all tests for all runs and all targets
-----------------
-megatest -remove-runs -target %/%/% -runname % -testpatt % -v
-----------------
-
-Archive Runs
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Megatest supports using the bup backup tool (https://bup.github.io/) to archive your tests for efficient storage
-and retrieval. Archived data can be rapidly retrieved if needed. The metadata for the run (PASS/FAIL status, run 
-durations, time stamps etc.) are all preserved in the megatest database.
-
-For setup information see the Archiving topic in the reference section of this manual.
-
-To Archive
-++++++++++
-
-Hint: use the test control panel to create a template command by pushing the "Archive Tests" button.
-
-.Archive a full run
-----------------
-megatest -target ubuntu/nfs/none -runname ww28.1a -archive save-remove -testpatt %
-----------------
-
-To Restore
-++++++++++
-
-.Retrieve a single test
-----------------
-megatest -target ubuntu/nfs/none -runname ww28.1a -archive restore -testpatt diskperf/%
-----------------
-
-Hint: You can browse the archive using bup commands directly.
-
-----------------
-bup -d /path/to/bup/archive ftp
-----------------
-
-Submit jobs to Host Types based on Test Name
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.In megatest.config
-------------------------
-[host-types]
-general ssh #{getbgesthost general}
-nbgeneral nbjob run JOBCOMMAND -log $MT_LINKTREE/$MT_TARGET/$MT_RUNNAME.$MT_TESTNAME-$MT_ITEM_PATH.lgo
-
-[hosts]
-general cubian xena
-
-[launchers]
-envsetup general
-xor/%/n 4C16G
-% nbgeneral
-
-[jobtools]
-launcher bsub
-# if defined and not "no" flexi-launcher will bypass launcher unless there is no
-# match.
-flexi-launcher yes
-------------------------
-
-Tricks
-------
-
-This section is a compendium of a various useful tricks for debugging,
-configuring and generally getting the most out of Megatest.
-
-Limiting your running jobs
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The following example will limit a test in the jobgroup "group1" to no more than 10 tests simultaneously.
-
-In your testconfig:
-
-----------------
-[test_meta]
-jobgroup group1
-----------------
-
-In your megatest.config:
-
----------------
-[jobgroups]
-group1 10
-custdes 4
----------------
-
-Debugging Tricks
-----------------
-
-Examining The Environment
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Test Control Panel - xterm
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-From the dashboard click on a test PASS/FAIL button. This brings up a test control panel. Aproximately near the center left of the 
-window there is a button "Start Xterm". Push this to get an xterm with the full context and environment loaded for that test. You can run
-scripts or ezsteps by copying from the testconfig (hint, load up the testconfig in a separate gvim or emacs window). This is the easiest way
-to debug your tests.
-
-During Config File Processing
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-It is often helpful to know the content of variables in various
-contexts as Megatest does the actions needed to run your tests. A handy technique is to force the startup of an xterm in the context being examined.
-
-For example, if an item list is not being generated as expected you
-can inject the startup of an xterm as if it were an item:
-
-.Original items table
------------------
-[items]
-CELLNAME [system getcellname.sh]
------------------
-
-.Items table modified for debug
------------------
-[items]
-DEBUG [system xterm]
-CELLNAME [system getcellnames.sh]
------------------
-
-When this test is run an xterm will pop up. In that xterm the
-environment is exactly that in which the script "getcellnames.sh"
-would run. You can now debug the script to find out why it isn't
-working as expected.
-
-Organising Your Tests and Tasks
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The default location "tests" for storing tests can be extended by
-adding to your tests-paths section.
-
-----------------------------
-[misc]
-parent #{shell dirname $(readlink -f .)}
-
-[tests-paths]
-1 #{get misc parent}/simplerun/tests
-----------------------------
-
-The above example shows how you can use addition sections in your
-config file to do complex processing. By putting results of relatively
-slow operations into variables the processing of your configs can be
-kept fast.
-
-Alternative Method for Running your Job Script
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-.Directly running job in testconfig
--------------------
-[setup]
-runscript main.csh
--------------------
-
-The runscript method is essentially a brute force way to run scripts where the
-user is responsible for setting STATE and STATUS and managing the details of running a test. 
-
-Debugging Server Problems
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Some handy Unix commands to track down issues with servers not
-communicating with your test manager processes. Please put in tickets
-at https://www.kiatoa.com/fossils/megatest if you have problems with
-servers getting stuck.
-
-----------------
-sudo lsof -i
-sudo netstat -lptu

-Config File Additional Features
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Including output from a script as if it was inline to the config file:
-
--------------------------
-[scriptinc myscript.sh]
--------------------------
-
-If the script outputs:
-
--------------------------
-[items]
-A a b c
-B d e f
--------------------------
-
-Then the config file would effectively appear to contain an items section
-exactly like the output from the script. This is useful when dynamically
-creating items, itemstables and other config structures. You can see the
-expansion of the call by looking in the cached files (look in your linktree
-for megatest.config and runconfigs.config cache files and in your test run
-areas for the expanded and cached testconfig).
-
-Wildcards and regexes in Targets
-
--------------------------
-[a/2/b]
-VAR1 VAL1
-
-[a/%/b]
-VAR1 VAL2
--------------------------
-
-Will result in:
-
--------------------------
-[a/2/b]
-VAR1 VAL2
--------------------------
-
-Can use either wildcard of "%" or a regular expression:
-
-[/abc.*def/]

-Tests browser view
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The tests browser (see the Run Control tab on the dashboard) has two views for displaying the tests. 
-
-. Dot (graphviz) based tree
-. No dot, plain listing
-
-The default is the graphviz based tree but if your tests don't view
-well in that mode then use "nodot" to turn it off.
-

-The testconfig File
--------------------
-
-Setup section
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Header
-^^^^^^
-
--------------------
-[setup]
--------------------
-
-The runscript method is a brute force way to run scripts where the
-user is responsible for setting STATE and STATUS
-
--------------------
-runscript main.csh
--------------------
-
-Requirements section
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.Header
--------------------
-[requirements]
--------------------
-
-Wait on Other Tests
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
--------------------
-# A normal waiton waits for the prior tests to be COMPLETED 
-# and PASS, CHECK or WAIVED
-waiton test1 test2
--------------------
-
-Mode
-^^^^
-
-The default (i.e. if mode is not specified) is normal. All pre-dependent tests
-must be COMPLETED and PASS, CHECK or WAIVED before the test will start
-
--------------------
-[requirements]
-mode   normal
--------------------
-
-The toplevel mode requires only that the prior tests are COMPLETED.
-
--------------------
-[requirements]
-mode toplevel
--------------------
-
-A item based waiton will start items in a test when the same-named
-item is COMPLETED and PASS, CHECK or WAIVED in the prior test. This
-was historically called "itemwait" mode. The terms "itemwait" and
-"itemmatch" are synonyms.
-
--------------------
-[requirements]
-mode itemmatch
--------------------
-
-Overriding Enviroment Variables
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Override variables before starting the test. Can include files (perhaps generated by megatest -envdelta or similar).
-
---------------------
-[pre-launch-env-vars]
-VAR1 value1
-
-# Get some generated settings
-[include ../generated-vars.config]
-
-# Use this trick to unset variables
-#{scheme (unsetenv "FOOBAR")}
---------------------
-
-Itemmap Handling
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-For cases were the dependent test has a similar but not identical
-itempath to the downstream test an itemmap can allow for itemmatch
-mode
-
--------------------
-[requirements]
-mode itemmatch
-itemmap .*x/ y/
-
-# ## pattern replacement notes
-#
-# ## Example
-# ## Remove everything up to the last /
-itemmap .*/
-#
-# ## Example
-# ## Replace foo/ with bar/
-itemmap foo/ bar/
-
-# multi-line; matches are applied in the listed order
-# The following would map:
-#   a123b321 to b321fooa123 then to 321fooa123p
-#
-itemmap (a\d+)(b\d+) \2foo\1
-  b(.*) \1p
--------------------
-
-Complex mappings
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Complex mappings can be handled with the [itemmap] section
-
-// image::itemmap.png[]
-image::complex-itemmap.png[]
-
-Example:
-
-. Request to run D/1/res
-. Megatest uses rule "(\d+)/res" -> "\1/aa" to create item C/1/aa from D/1/res
-. Full list to be run is now: D/1/res, C/1/aa
-. Megatest uses rule "(\d+)/aa" -> "aa/\1" to create item A/aa/1
-. Full list to be run is now: D/1/res, C/1/aa, A/aa/1
-
-.Testconfig for Test C
-----------------------
-[requirements]
-waiton A B
-
-[itemmap]
-A (\d+)/aa aa/\1
-B (\d+)/bb 
-----------------------
-
-.Testconfig for Test D
-----------------------
-[requirements]
-waiton C
-itemmap (\d+)/res \1/aa
-----------------------
-
-.Testconfig for Test E
-----------------------
-[requirements]
-waiton C
-itemmap (\d+)/res \1/bb
-----------------------
-
-Dynamic Flow Dependency Tree
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-.Autogeneration waiton list for dynamic flow dependency trees
--------------------
-[requirements]
-# With a toplevel test you may wish to generate your list 
-# of tests to run dynamically
-#
-waiton #{shell get-valid-tests-to-run.sh}
--------------------
-
-Run time limit
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
------------------
-[requirements]
-runtimelim 1h 2m 3s  # this will automatically kill the test if it runs for more than 1h 2m and 3s
------------------
-
-Skip
-^^^^
-
-A test with a skip section will conditional skip running.
-
-.Skip section example
------------------
-[skip]
-prevrunning x
-# rundelay 30m 15s
------------------
-
-Skip on Still-running Tests
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
------------------
-# NB// If the prevrunning line exists with *any* value the test will
-# automatically SKIP if the same-named test is currently RUNNING. The
-# "x" can be any string. Comment out the prevrunning line to turn off
-# skip.
-
-[skip]
-prevrunning x
------------------
-
-Skip if a File Exists
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
------------------
-[skip]
-fileexists /path/to/a/file # skip if /path/to/a/file exists
------------------
-
-Skip if test ran more recently than specified time
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-.Skip if this test has been run in the past fifteen minutes and 15 seconds.
------------------
-[skip]
-rundelay 15m 15s
------------------
-
-Disks
-^^^^^
-
-A disks section in testconfig will override the disks section in
-megatest.config. This can be used to allocate disks on a per-test or per item
-basis.
-
-Controlled waiver propagation
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-If test is FAIL and previous test in run with same MT_TARGET is WAIVED then apply the following rules from the testconfig:
-If a waiver check is specified in the testconfig apply the check and if it passes then set this FAIL to WAIVED
-
-Waiver check has two parts, 1) a list of waiver, rulename, filepatterns and 2) the rulename script spec (note that "diff" and "logpro" are predefined)
-
------------------
-###### EXAMPLE FROM testconfig #########
-# matching file(s) will be diff'd with previous run and logpro applied
-# if PASS or WARN result from logpro then WAIVER state is set
-#
-[waivers]
-# logpro_file    rulename      input_glob
-waiver_1         logpro        lookittmp.log
-
-[waiver_rules]
-
-# This builtin rule is the default if there is no <waivername>.logpro file
-# diff   diff %file1% %file2%
-
-# This builtin rule is applied if a <waivername>.logpro file exists
-# logpro diff %file1% %file2% | logpro %waivername%.logpro %waivername%.html
------------------
-
-Ezsteps
-~~~~~~~
-
-.Example ezsteps with logpro rules
------------------
-[ezsteps]
-lookittmp   ls /tmp
-
-[logpro]
-lookittmp ;; Note: config file format supports multi-line entries where leading whitespace is removed from each line
-  ;;     a blank line indicates the end of the block of text 
-  (expect:required in "LogFileBody" > 0 "A file name that should never exist!" #/This is a awfully stupid file name that should never be found in the temp dir/)
-
------------------
-
-To transfer the environment to the next step you can do the following:
-
-----------------------------
-$MT_MEGATEST -env2file .ezsteps/${stepname}	  
-----------------------------
-
-Triggers
-~~~~~~~~
-
-In your testconfig triggers can be specified 
-
------------------
-[triggers]
-
-# Call script running.sh when test goes to state=RUNNING, status=PASS
-RUNNING/PASS running.sh
-
-# Call script running.sh any time state goes to RUNNING
-RUNNING/ running.sh
-
-# Call script onpass.sh any time status goes to PASS
-PASS/ onpass.sh
------------------
-
-Scripts called will have; test-id test-rundir trigger, added to the commandline.
-
-HINT
-
-To start an xterm (useful for debugging), use a command line like the following:
-
------------------
-[triggers]
-COMPLETED/ xterm -e bash -s -- 
------------------
-
-NOTE: There is a trailing space after the --
-
-
-Override the Toplevel HTML File
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Megatest generates a simple html file summary for top level tests of
-iterated tests. The generation can be overridden. NOTE: the output of
-the script is captured from stdout to create the html.
-
-
-.For test "runfirst" override the toplevel generation with a script "mysummary.sh"
------------------
-# Override the rollup for specific tests
-[testrollup]
-runfirst mysummary.sh
------------------
-
-Archiving Setup
----------------
-
-In megatest.config add the following sections:
-
-.megatest.config
---------------
-[archive]
-# where to get bup executable
-# bup /path/to/bup
-
-[archive-disks]
-
-# Archives will be organised under these paths like this:
-#  <testsuite>/<creationdate>
-# Within the archive the data is structured like this:
-#  <target>/<runname>/<test>/
-archive0 /mfs/myarchive-data/adisk1
---------------
-
-Handling Environment Variables
-------------------------------
-
-It is often necessary to capture and or manipulate environment
-variables. Megatest has some facilities built in to help.
-
-Capture variables
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-.Commands
-------------------------------
-# capture the current enviroment into a db called envdat.db under
-# the context "before"
-megatest -envcap before
-
-# capture the current environment into a db called startup.db with 
-# context "after"
-megatest -envcap after startup.db
-
-# write the diff from before to after
-megatest -envdelta before-after -dumpmode bash
-------------------------------
-
-Dump modes include bash, csh and config. You can include config data
-into megatest.config or runconfigs.config.
-
-.Example of generating and using config data
-------------------------------
-megatest -envcap original
-# do some stuff here
-megatest -envcap munged
-megatest -envdelta original-munged -dumpmode ini -o modified.config
-------------------------------
-
-Then in runconfigs.config
-
-.Example of using modified.config in a testconfig
-------------------------------
-cat testconfig
-
-[pre-launch-env-vars]
-[include modified.config]
-------------------------------
-
-
-Programming API
----------------
-
-These routines can be called from the megatest repl. 
-
-.API Keys Related Calls
-[width="70%",cols="^,2m,2m,2m",frame="topbot",options="header,footer"]
-|======================
-|API Call                        | Purpose comments   | Returns                 | Comments
-|(rmt:get-keys run-id)           |                    | ( key1 key2 ... )       | 
-| (rmt:get-key-val-pairs run-id) |                    | #t=success/#f=fail      | Works only if the server is still reachable

-Road Map
---------
-
-Note 1: This road-map is still evolving and subject to change without notice.
-
-Architecture Refactor
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Goals
-^^^^^
-
-. Reduce load on the file system. Sqlite3 files on network filesystem can be
-  a burden.
-. Reduce number of servers and frequency of start/stop. This is mostly an
-  issue of clutter but also a reduction in "moving parts".
-. Coalesce activities to a single home host where possible. Give the user
-  feedback that they have started the dashboard on a host other than the
-  home host.
-. Reduce number of processes involved in managing running tests.
-
-Changes Needed
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-. ACID compliant db will be on /tmp and synced to megatest.db with a five
-  second max delay.
-. Read/writes to db for processes on homehost will go direct to /tmp
-  megatest.db file.
-. Read/wites fron non-homehost processes will go through one server. Bulk
-  reads (e.g. for dashboard or list-runs) will be cached on the current host
-  in /tmp and synced from the home megatest.db in the testsuite area.
-. Db syncs rely on the target db file timestame minus some margin.
-. Since bulk reads do not use the server we can switch to simple RPC for the
-  network transport.
-. Test running manager process extended to manage multiple running tests.
-
-Current Items
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-ww05 - migrate to inmem-db
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-. Switch to inmem db with fast sync to on disk db's [DONE]
-. Server polls tasks table for next action
-.. Task table used for tracking runner process [DONE]
-.. Task table used for jobs to run
-.. Task table used for queueing runner actions (remove runs, cleanRunExecute, etc)
-
-
-// ww32
-// ~~~~
-// 
-// . Rerun step and or subsequent steps from gui
-// . Refresh test area files from gui
-// . Clean and re-run button
-// . Clean up STATE and STATUS handling.
-// .. Dashboard and Test control panel are reverse order - choose and fix
-// .. Move seldom used states and status to drop down selector
-// . Access test control panel when clicking on Run Summary tests
-// . Feature: -generate-index-tree
-// . Change specifing of state and status to use STATE1/STATUS1,STATE2/STATUS2
-// 
-// ww33
-// ~~~~
-// 
-// . http api available for use with Perl, Ruby etc. scripts
-// . megatest.config setup entries for:
-// .. run launching (e.g. /bin/sh %CMD% > /dev/null)
-// .. browser "konqueror %FNAME%
-// 
-// ww34
-// ~~~~
-// 
-// . Mark dependent tests for clean/rerun -rerun-downstream
-// . On run start check for defunct tests in RUNNING, LAUNCHED or REMOTEHOSTSTART and correct or notify
-// . Fix: refresh of gui sometimes fails on last item (race condition?)
-// 
-// ww35
-// ~~~~
-// 
-// . refdb: Add export of csv, json and sexp
-// . Convert to using call-with-environment-variables where possible. Should allow handling of parallel runs in same process.
-// . Re-work text interface wizards. Several bugs on record. Possibly convert to gui based.
-// . Add to testconfig requirements section; launchlimiter scriptname, calls scriptname to check if ok to launch test
-// . Refactor Run Summary view, currently very clumsy
-// . Add option to show steps in Run Summary view
-// 
-// ww36
-// ~~~~
-// 
-// . Refactor guis for resizeablity
-// . Add filters to Run Summary view and Run Control view
-// . Add to megatest.config or testconfig; rerunok STATE/STATUS,STATE/STATUS...
-// . Launch gates for diskspace; /path/one>1G,/path/two>200M,/tmp>5G,#{scheme *toppath*}>1G
-// 
-// Bin List
-// ~~~~~~~~
-// 
-// .	Quality improvements
-// ..	Server stutters occasionally
-// ..	Large number of items or tests still has some issues.
-// ..	Code refactoring
-// ..	Replace remote process with true API using json (supports Web app also)
-// .	Streamline the gui
-// ..	Everything resizable
-// ..	Less clutter
-// ..	Tool tips
-// ..	Filters on Run Summary, Summary and Run Control panel
-// ..	Built in log viewer (partially implemented)
-// ..	Refactor the test control panel
-// .	Help and documentation
-// ..	Complete the user manual (I’ve been working on this lately).
-// ..	Online help in the gui
-// .	Streamlined install
-// ..	Deployed version (download a location independent ready to run binary bundle)
-// ..	Install Makefile (in progress, needed for Mike to install on VMs)
-// ..	Added option to compile IUP (needed for VMs)
-// .	Server side run launching
-// .	Support for re-running, cleaning etc. of individual steps (ezsteps makes this very easy to implement).
-// .	Launch process needs built in daemonizing (easy to do, just need to test it thoroughly).
-// .	Wizards for creating tests, regression areas (current ones are text only and limited).
-// .	Fully functional built in web service (currently you can browse runs but it is very simplistic).
-// .	Wildcards in runconfigs: e.g. [p1271/9/%/%]
-// .	Gui panels for editing megatest.config and runconfigs.config
-// .	Fully isolated tests (no use of NFS to see regression area files)
-// .	Windows version
