Once having clicked OK in the dialog QA Check Settings, the chosen test criteria will be used and the test run will be started.

	Note
The test run for extensive directories may possibly take several hours, so it is advisable to run the test either overnight or on a separate computer. When using the function Abbreviate, you have the option to cancel, but in contrary to the function Cancel not to lose already found results. For details see below.

When starting the TestMeta run, a) the selected directory/project is blocked and shown grayed out (deactivated). However, you may work on other projects in the meantime.

Docking window "Project selection": Directory "bosses" blocked

And b) the docking window QA-Check is opened.

Docking window "QA-Check"

With the options of the "Mode" list field you can filter results during the run or just as well after finished run.

The following options are available:

All: All messages are displayed.
Error -> Make the required corrections.

Note
In order to achieve the QA level 5 Errors have to be corrected.
Publishing is only possible as of QA level 5.
Warning -> If needed make the corrections.
Running: Shows which projects are currently being worked.
Idle: When testing the whole catalog or directories some projects are in the queue. Using this option you can see what still has to be tested.
Ok: Marking of projects without warnings and errors
Canceled: The filter offers you the possibility to quickly see if a project has been canceled or not. Furthermore you can see in which test segment (e.g. Project tests | Catalogue tests | Value range tests | Tables tests) the canceling happened.

Cancel Test

Canceling of Testmeta without regard of its current state. No results are transferred to PARTproject. The old state remains as it is.

Abbreviate Test

When clicking on the button Abbreviate the following message appears:

The current step is canceled and then already completed segments are continued!

Projects are tested in the segments Project tests (e.g. "Check file names", "Check images"), Tables tests, Value range tests (e.g. "Check short name", "Check order number") and Catalogue tests: (e.g. Check short name for duplicates).

Test segments

Projects initiated but not finished in any segment are canceled, so will remain in their initial state, the same as with Cancel.
Finished projects from the previous section will be continued in the next section and run through all sections (assemblies only continue, if all single parts continue).
The results of all projects (finished and canceled) are transferred to PARTproject.
All completed projects will have their QA state adapted.

Abbreviate can be used multiple times.

Close dialog

In order to start a new TestMeta run, the QA-Check docking window needs to be closed. Click on Close.
