Running tests

Tests can be run either on the emulator or on a device, from a PC. To run the tests on the emulator, run the following command from \epoc32\release\WINSCW\udeb\ location:

ced -I c:\wintap.xml 

This command updates the WinTap configuration settings in the comms-infras. It also enables you to use WinTap for connecting the TestDriver to the emulator and proceed with execution of the tests on emulator.

For more details, refer to the Symbian OS Library section, Symbian OS Tools And Utilities >> Emulator >> Emulator guide >> Comms database configuration tools >> Configuring comms database using CED and CEDDUMP

When tests are run, tests and their dependencies are copied to the C: drive of the device (or emulator).

When you run tests, the 'testdriver run' command uses the XML tree as input and walks through it. For details, see Building tests. Tests are then executed on the device, logs are collected and transferred back to the PC.

Command line syntax

The syntax for running a driver file is:

> testdriver run -p <platform> -b <build> -s <test> [-t transport] [-l rdebug|console]

For more options, see run command options.

Note: When you run a test the STAT tool is directed to transfer the SIS files stored in the repository to the device.
