Event-Action Rules
There are many events that can occur during the course of operation for a test,
including certain response levels being reached, limits being exceeded, and user
caused events such as pause or stop. The Event-Action Rules feature offers the
most flexibility in controlling the system operation by customizing the response to
these events.
Event-Actions Rules define the response of the controller to these test events.
Many actions are available as custom responses, such as sending an e-mail or
stopping the test. When an event occurs, the corresponding action rule(s) will be
automatically applied by the software.
In the Event Action Rules user interface of EDM, the left column, Event Name,
lists events while the right column, Action Rules, lists the corresponding actions
taken by the software. System events are in blue words and user events are in
green words. User events can be manually added, renamed, and removed. Click
“Add a User Event” button to add a new user event to the event list. Click to
highlight a user event and click “Edit Event Name” to rename the user event. Click
to highlight a user event and click “Remove Event” to delete the user event from
the list.
