Running the Modular Stress Test

  • Article

With the Modular Stress Test, you can test the stability of your Windows CE–based platform by using a mix of test modules tailored to the platform. You can write custom test modules for your own drivers, applications, and so on, and then add these test modules to the module mix. With custom test modules, you can specifically test the stability of your drivers and applications and test their interoperability with other parts of the OS. For more information about writing a custom test module, see Custom Module Creation for the Modular Stress Test.

To run the Modular Stress Test from the Windows CE .NET Test Kit window

  1. Connect the target device to the CETK.

    For information about connecting a target device to the CETK, see Configuring the CETK to Communicate with a Target Device.

  2. In the Windows CE .NET Test Kit window, expand the node that corresponds to the target device.

  3. Expand the Other Tests node, and then select the Modular Stress Test check box.

  4. If you want, you can modify the behavior of the test by editing the command line for the test. For information about modifying the command line, see Editing the Command Line for a Test.

    The Modular Stress Test executes the oemstress -ini:\oemstress.ini -autooom -wait command line on default execution. For information about other command-line options for the Modular Stress Test, see Modular Stress Test Command-Line Options.

  5. Right-click on Modular Stress Test, and then choose Quick Start.

After you start the Modular Stress Test, you should see a significant amount of activity on the display of the target device. If you have connected an instance of Platform Builder to the target device, the Output window in the Platform Builder integrated development environment (IDE) should display information about execution of the test modules.
