Automated testing overview

 

While manual regression testing is possible using the session comparison feature, automated unattended testing is purely command line driven.

 

Typically, command line options allow Memory Validator to run by specifying:

 

•the target program to run

•arguments to pass to the target program

•the working directory to run in

•a baseline session to compare with

•where and how to save results

•whether to run with or without the user interface
 

Usually Memory Validator would exit between automated tests, but it can be made to stay running if necessary.

 

See the command line reference for an alphabetical listing all the available commands.

 

 

To run 32 bit memory validator run C:\Program Files (x86)\Software Verify\Memory Validator x86\memoryValidator.exe

 

To run 64 bit memory validator run C:\Program Files (x86)\Software Verify\Memory Validator x64\memoryValidator_x64.exe

 

 

Command line argument usage

 

There are a few basic rules to remember when using the command line arguments:

 

•separate arguments by spaces
 

•quote arguments if they contain spaces
 

•some arguments are only useful in conjunction with others
 

•some arguments are incompatible with others

 

If your command line is very long, consider using -commandFile to specify a command file for your arguments.
