## Basic Test Parameters

These parameters can be set on per-test case basis but usually they are set in the main script file to apply them to all test cases.

1. -base-ns = "jabber:client" sets the XML name space used for the XML stream in the XMPP connection. Some test cases can be used to test client to server protocol as well as server to server protocol and possibly different protocols added in the future.
2. -debug switches debugging mode on. All the communication between the test suite and the server is printed out to the text console and all other debugging information including java exceptions is displayed as well. It is especially useful when some test fails and you want to find out why exactly.
3. -debug-on-error switches on debugging mode on error detection. Normally debug output generates lots of message which makes the output very hard to read. Especially in the performance tests not only you can read fast scrolling lines of the protocol data but also it slows the test down. This option however turns debugging off if everything is working well and then generates debug output if any test error us detected.
4. -def-auth = (auth-plain | auth-digest | auth-sasl) sets the default authentication method for the user connection.
5. -def-stream = (stream-client | stream-server | stream-component | stream-bosh) sets the connection stream to be tested and the name space for the connection.
6. -host = "host.name" the vhost name the tested server runs for. It may be the real DNS name or just configured for testing purposes hostname. It must match however the server configuration.
7. -keys-file = "certs/keystore" sets the location of the keys store file. No need to touch it.
8. -keys-file-password = keystore sets the password for the keystore file. Normally you don’t have to touch it.
9. -serverip = "127.0.0.1" defines the XMPP server IP address. You may omit this parameter and then the IP address will be determined automatically based on the server DNS address. However if the DNS address can not be correctly resolved or if you run tests on the localhost you can use this parameter to enforce the IP address.
10. -socket-wait = 10000 sets the network socket timeout in milliseconds that is maximum time the test suite will wait for the response from the server. You may want to increase the timeout for some specific tests which require lots of computation or database activity on the server. Normally 10 seconds is enough for most cases.
11. -stop-on-fail = true causes the script to terminate all actions on the first failed test case. It helps diagnosing the server state at the failure point.
12. -trust-file = "certs/client_truststore" sets the file name for the client trust store file. No need to change it.
13. -trust-file-password = truststore sets the password for the trust store file. Normally you don’t have to touch it.
14. -user-name = tester sets the user name used for the XMPP connections between the test suite and the XMPP server. It is usually set globally the same for all tests and for some tests like receiving the server configuration you may want to use a different account (with admin permissions). Then you can set a different user for this specific test case.
15. -user-pass = tester-password sets the password for the user used for the XMPP connection between the test suite and the XMPP server.
16. -user-resr = resource sets the user JID resource part for the XMPP connection between the test suite and the XMPP server.
