13Test directory Contents
14^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
15This test environment consists on 3 directories.
16	1. bin : This contains some helper scripts that are used by the test environment but can be used in a standalone fashion.
17	2. qa : This directory contains the files necessary to run the POSE emulator and to compare this results of tests with a set of verified (golden-data) files.
18	3. qa-wrapper: This directory contains some wrapper scripts and environment files, that allow a user to change the environment settings, without have to change the POSE control code itself.

20Setting up the environment
21^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
22	The environment can be changes to reflect a particular users environment, by editing or creating an environment file. This files are usually kept in the qa-wrapper/env directory. These environment settings can then be used when running the scripts.
23
24Running the Scripts
25^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
26    Once the environment file has been created, the test scripts can be run by executing the "run-convtest" script in the qa-wrapper/bin directory. This file takes the following arguments
27
28	 run-convtest -env <ENVFILE> [-name RUNNAME]
29
30<ENVFILE> is the environment file to use
31optional <RUNNAME> This can be the name of the user running the scripts. This is used to name a directory for the test results to be kept in.
32
33	e.g. run-convtest -env ../env/master.env
