\begin_layout Abstract
Megatest is a minimalistic tool to help automate and manage the running
 of a suite of regression tests or other processes and to roll up the results
 for display on a web page or dashboard.

About Megatest
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Megatest design philosophy
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Megatest is intended to provide the minimum needed resources to make writing
 a suite of tests for software, design engineering or process control (via
 owlfs for example) without being specialized for any specific problem space.
 Megatest in of itself does not know what constitutes a PASS or FAIL of
 a test.
 In most cases megatest is best used in conjunction with logpro or a similar
 tool to parse, analyze and decide on the test outcome.
 A call to megatest can then be made to record the result.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Megatest architecture
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
All data to specify the tests and configure the system is stored in plain
 text files.
 All system state is stored in an sqlite3 database.
 Tests are launched using the launching system available for the distributed
 compute platform in use.
 A template script is provided which can launch jobs on local and remote
 Linux hosts.
 Currently megatest uses the network filesystem to 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

call home
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 to your master sqlite3 database.
\end_layout

Installation
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Compilation
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Dependencies
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Chicken scheme and a number of eggs are required for building megatest.
 See the file utils/installall.sh for an automated way to install the dependencie
s on Linux.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Build and install
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Run 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

make test
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 to create the megatest executable.
 You may wish to copy the executable to a centrally accessible location.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Setup
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Create megatest.config
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Create the file megatest.config using the megatest.config template from the
 tests directory.
 At a minimum you need the following:
\begin_inset listings

# Fields are the keys under which your test runs are organized
\end_layout

\begin_layout Plain Layout

[fields]
\end_layout

Simple Test, Multiple Steps, Some in Parallel 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
The Makefile
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A good way to run steps in parallel within a single test, especially when
 there are following steps, is to use the Unix Make utility.
 Writing Makefiles is beyond the scope of this document but here is a minimal
 example that will run 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

runsim cpu1
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

runsim cpu2
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 in parallel.
 For more information on make try 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

Tests with Inter-test dependencies

.
 In either of these scenarios you can use the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

waiton
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 keyword in your testconfig file to indicate that this test must wait on
 one or more tests to complete before being launched.
 In this example there is no point in running the
