QC Quickstart

QuickStart QC is a development tool for stress testing application and stand alone code during runtime. It is designed to be thorough, fast, and easy to use. QC requires System 7 in order to function. This document is intended to give you a quick overview of the QC Control Panel and the items in it. The descriptions here are based on the current QC 1.5 release. Previous 68k versions (i.e. 1.1.3) differ where noted. The documentation that ships with QC contains more detailed explanations of all the tests. The main Control Panel window lets you target code to be tested and set the hot key for on the fly testing. Individual test options are available for each application targeted for testing. Clicking on the Add button brings up a standard file dialog that allows you to select applications, cdevs and other code resources to be added to the target list. These new target programs will have the same testing options as the default target. The Remove button will remove the currently selected target from the list (the default target cannot be removed). You cannot add or delete items from the list when testing is active. Clicking in the hot key field allows you to replace the current hot key setting with the key combination of your choice (command key combinations are not allowed). Pressing the hot key at any time will cause QC to begin testing the front-most application when the key down event is processed (WaitNextEvent). If an application being tested did not previously exist in the list it will be added and the default settings will be used. While QC is running a small icon will flash over the Apple menu and your system will slow down (how much File Edit depends on the test settings). There are notification options that allow you to specify whether QC will beep when activated/deactivated and/or whether the small icon is rotated in the Apple menu. Pressing the hot key again will immediately stop QC. QC 1.5 runs on all PowerPC Macintosh systems using System 7 or later. VM, 32-bit addressing, and Modern Memory are all supported. Balloon help is available for all window and dialog items. Pricing for QC is $99 plus postage and handling (typically $5 domestic US, varies for international and courier deliveries). Five and ten pack pricing available. Site licenses are available for 50 copies or more. Contact Onyx Technology for further information. Internet: 'support@onyxtech.com'. Tele: (941) 795-7801.
