  • Creating a test macro:
    • Test macros go in the test area of the option tree.
      Naming Convention test_<command>.mm
      Example (for NOOP) test_noop.mm
    • Test macros are always unconfigured.
      • To run it manually:
        nM> home test <opt>
        nM> %test_<command>
      • Can also be run via confidence:
        nM> confidence <opt>
        nM> confidence/interactive <opt>
    • Test macros make extensive use of the ASSERT command.
      ASSERT/text="<msg>" <test>
      ASSERT/text="File size is 100" fileSize EQ 100
