5.3 Test control commands

The following commands can be used to continue or abort testing, skip a number of test rounds, enable or disable implementations for testing, and change the verbosity of lbtt's output messages.

`continue [number-of-rounds]'

Continue testing. If no argument is given, testing will be interrupted again when mandated by the current interactivity mode (see Interactivity modes). The optional argument number-of-rounds can be used to specify a number of rounds to run; testing is then interrupted again after the given number of test rounds (or in case of a new test failure if mandated by the current interactivity mode).

`disable [implementation-id-list]'

Disable testing of a list of implementations (all implementations if no list of implementations is specified). lbtt will not include these implementations in the tests in subsequent test rounds. (See Command conventions, for the syntax used for the list of implementations.)

`enable [implementation-id-list]'

Enable testing of a list of implementations.

`quit'

Display test statistics (see Test statistics) over the test rounds performed and then abort testing.

`skip [number-of-rounds]'

Skip a number of test rounds and then return to wait for further user input. If not explicitly specified, the number of rounds to skip defaults to 1. Use the `--skip' command line option (see The `--skip' command line option) to begin testing from another test round than 1.

`verbosity [verbosity-level]'

Display or change the verbosity of lbtt's output messages. If no argument is given, show the current verbosity level, otherwise change the verbosity setting to the given value. The argument must be an integer between 0 and 5 (inclusive). (The new value will take effect when testing is resumed.)
