Testing FunnelWeb

Once you have obtained a binary executable, you should test FunnelWeb before making it available to users. To do this:

1. Set the default directory to be the scripts directory.

2. Copy the FunnelWeb executable into the scripts directory (or be able to invoke it from the scripts directory).

3. Edit the script master.fws. Locate the section called ``Define Symbol For the Root Test Directory'' and define the R symbol to point to the FunnelWeb root directory fwdir. The examples in the comments in the script should make it clear what is required.

4. Invoke FunnelWeb to execute the master test script with the command line fw +xmaster

The master.fws script should run for a few minutes. If all goes well, you will find a differences report on your screen reporting zero differences. If this happens, then FunnelWeb has been fully tested and is ready to be made available to users. You should delete all the files in the results directory and proceed to the next section on installing FunnelWeb for users.

If there were one or more differences, you can either give up and contact the author, or attempt to fix the code yourself. If you decide to fix the code yourself, start with the differences log file and follow your nose. Good luck!
