| - | The local report is attached to the test folder and has the same name as the test (name_test.rep). This local report contains the details of the error(s) obtained when comparing the new test results to the reference. \\ \\ | ||
| - | It is structured as follows: | ||
| - | * Local error | ||
| - | * Decision (Success/ Failure): depending on the value of the error, the test is considered as passed or failed. The recommanded acceptance value for the error is 0.1% for a Mini test and 1% for a Big test. | ||

| - | It contains the following information: | ||
| - | * Number of tests | ||
| - | * Global error | ||
| - | * List of tests | ||

| In order to ensure that your developments in the Lagamine code will keep functioning properly, it is highly recommanded that you add one or several tests specific to the law(s) or element(s) you use and develop. \\ \\ | In order to ensure that your developments in the Lagamine code will keep functioning properly, it is highly recommanded that you add one or several tests specific to the law(s) or element(s) you use and develop. \\ \\ | ||
| To test a material law or an element, you should design a **simple test**, using only 1 element when possible. Preferably, your test should **not take more than a few seconds** to run. If you need to test something more complex, you can also create a "Big" test. However, the total number of Big tests should be limited to avoid excessive computational times for the whole test battery. \\ | To test a material law or an element, you should design a **simple test**, using only 1 element when possible.

| - | ==== Comparator code ==== | + | |
| - | After you have created your test and identified the variables that need to be checked, you need to write the comparator code. \\ \\ This code should be written in a Python script. If Python is not already installed on your computer, you can download it from the official Python website: [[https://www.python.org/downloads/|https://www.python.org/downloads/]] \\ Several editors exist to facilitate coding and debugging with Python. You can use [[https://www.spyder-ide.org/|Spyder]] or [[https://code.visualstudio.com/|Visual Studio Code]] for instance.\\ | + | |
| - | For the comparator code, it is recommanded to use one of the existing comparators as an example. You can search in the Dokuwiki tests that use the same type of result files as you to find a code similar to what you should write. \\ | + | **Be sure to print out the values you want to check at the time step(s) you see fit**. \\ To define the time steps at which you want a printing, you can use [[lagamex:auto#rd_line_14i5_-_strategy_control_data|ILSAV = 1 or 2]] in the ex.dat file. \\ Check [[appendices:a1|Appendix 1: Printing options]] and [[appendices:a9|Appendix 9: Printing files]] for more info about printing files. |
