The RDM Responder Tests can produce quite a bit of output. This guide covers how to interpret the output and diagnose failures.

First a quick overview of how the tests are structured:

Test Categories

Tests are grouped according to the sections in the RDM Categories/Parameter ID Defines table in the E1.20 document. There are some extra categories for specific behavior like error conditions and sub device handling.

Test States

There are four possible result states for a test:

Passed
The responder replied with the expected result
Failed
The responder failed to reply, or replied with an un-expected result
Not Run
This test wasn't run because the responder doesn't support the required functionality or a previous test failed.
Broken
An internal error occurred, this indicates a programming error or an error with the test rig.

Log Messages

Warnings
Warnings indicate behavior that doesn't match the standard, but is unlikely to cause usability issues. Warnings are printed in the summary section of the test output.
Advisory Messages
Advisory messages indicate issues that are not covered by the standard but are likely to cause problems i.e a sensor temperature out side of the stated scale range.
