1. How do I use dependencies?/Why can't I select
tests in the dependencies list?
The dependencies list is a list of tests on which the current test
depends. Tests which have dependencies will not run unless the tests
they depend on were successful the last time they ran. Tests which
have never run can optionally be treated as having passed.
Only valid dependencies can be selected. You cannot create a dependency
on the current test, as a test cannot depend on itself. Likewise,
you cannot create a dependency on any test which depends on the
current test. This can be confusing as sometimes there is no direct
dependency. If Test A depends on Test B, Test C can be configured
to depend on either Test A or B, but if dependent on Test A, it
is also implicitly dependent on Test B.
Implicit dependencies are displayed as greyed boxes to indicate
that another test is enforcing the dependency. Deleting a test automatically
removes the dependencies on the test from other tests.
2. How can I move WatchDog to a different machine/OS
If moving the license to a new host with a different name, ensure
you have deactivated your copy of WatchDog on the old system before
activating it on the new system. This will prevent you having to
contact sales to get your registration fixed :-).
Moving WatchDog itself is quite simple. Shut down WatchDog. If
you wish to preserve only your tests, copy watchdog.dat from the
old system to the new. The location of this file MUST be that specified
in the HOMEDIR variable in %windir%\watchdog.ini on each systems.
If you are keeping your settings, additionally copy %windir%\watchdog.ini
(To %windir% on the new system), and ensure you alter the HOMEDIR
variable to point to the correct location (As originally configured
by the installer). If you need to move the location of your test
data, this variable must be altered accordingly while WatchDog is
not running.
Summary information for test results is kept in wdsum.dat. Copying
this file is optional, and if WatchDog is being moved to systems
of a different architecture (presently only x86 is available), this
file may be incompatible with the new system.
The log files can also be copied if you require them.
