Test Plans

You need to select a test plan to construct one-stage or two-stage models.

You can select the one- or two-stage test plans provided, as described next. You can also use these to create your own test plan template so you can reuse the setup for one test plan with another set of data. See Creating New Test Plan Templates.

Creating a New Test Plan

To create a new test plan:

• Click New in the Test Plans pane (visible at startup and whenever the project node is selected in the model tree).

Alternatively, make sure the project node is selected first, and then do one of the following:

• Click the New Test Plan icon (  ) in the toolbar.
• Select File -> New Test Plan.
• Press Insert immediately after clicking the tree.

These steps all open a dialog with the choice of One Stage or Two Stage test plans, or you can browse for other test plans (as new templates can be created and saved). See Local Level.

A new test plan node appears in the model tree. To view the new test plan:

Change to test plan level:

• Select the node in the tree by clicking it.

• Alternatively, double-click the new test plan in the Test Plans pane, as in Windows Explorer.

The Model Browser changes to test plan level, showing the block diagram representations of models in the main display, and the Test Plans pane changes to the Response Models pane (empty until models are set up).
