106
<P>Once you have obtained a binary executable, you should
107
test FunnelWeb before using it or making it available to
108
users. FunnelWeb comes with a comprehensive regression test
109
suite. Here's how to use it:
114
<LI> Set the default directory to be the
115
<SAMP>scripts</SAMP> directory.
117
<LI> If you are on a Macintosh, copy the FunnelWeb
118
executable into the scripts directory.
120
<LI> Edit the script <SAMP>master.fws</SAMP>. Locate the
121
section called "Define Symbol For the Root Test
122
Directory" and define the <SAMP>R</SAMP> symbol to point to
123
the FunnelWeb root directory <SAMP>fwdir</SAMP>. The examples
124
in the comments in the script should make it clear what is
127
<LI> Invoke FunnelWeb to execute the master test script
128
with the command line <SAMP>fw +xmaster</SAMP>
132
<P>The <SAMP>master.fws</SAMP> script should run for a minute
133
or two. If all goes well, you will find a differences report
134
on your screen reporting zero differences. If this happens,
135
then FunnelWeb has been fully tested and is ready to be made
136
available to users. You should delete all the files in the
137
<SAMP>results</SAMP> directory.
139
<P>If you run into any problems, please write a short
140
report describing the problem and mail it to me
141
(<A HREF="http://www.ross.net/">Ross Williams</A> (<A HREF="mailto:ross@ross.net">ross@ross.net</A>)). I may
142
not be able to help you with it immediately, but I certainly
143
want to know that a problem exists, so that it can be
144
corrected in future releases of FunnelWeb.
