NAME
       ct_master - Distributed test execution control for Common Test.

DESCRIPTION
       Distributed test execution control for Common Test.

       This module exports functions for running Common Test nodes on multiple hosts in parallel.

EXPORTS
       abort() -> ok

	      Stops all running tests.

       abort(Nodes) -> ok

	      Types  Nodes = atom() | [atom()]

	      Stops tests on specified nodes.

       progress() -> [{Node, Status}]

	      Types  Node = atom()
		     Status = finished_ok | ongoing | aborted | {error, Reason}
		     Reason = term()

	      Returns test progress. If Status is ongoing , tests are running on the node and have not yet finished.

       run(TestSpecs) -> ok

	      Types  TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]

	      Equivalent to run(TestSpecs, false, [], []) .

       run(TestSpecs, InclNodes, ExclNodes) -> ok

	      Types  TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
		     SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
		     InclNodes = [atom()]
		     ExclNodes = [atom()]

	      Equivalent to run(TestSpecs, false, InclNodes, ExclNodes) .

       run(TestSpecs, AllowUserTerms, InclNodes, ExclNodes) -> ok

	      Types  TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
		     SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
		     AllowUserTerms = bool()
		     InclNodes = [atom()]
		     ExclNodes = [atom()]

	      Tests  are spawned on the nodes as specified in TestSpecs . Each specification in TestSpec will be handled separately. It is however
	      possible to also specify a list of specifications that should be merged into one before the tests are executed. Any test	without  a
	      particular  node	specification  will also be executed on the nodes in InclNodes . Nodes in the ExclNodes list will be excluded from
	      the test.

       run_on_node(TestSpecs, Node) -> ok

	      Types  TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
		     SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
		     Node = atom()

	      Equivalent to run_on_node(TestSpecs, false, Node) .

       run_on_node(TestSpecs, AllowUserTerms, Node) -> ok

	      Types  TestSpecs = string() | [SeparateOrMerged]
		     SeparateOrMerged = string() | [string()]
		     AllowUserTerms = bool()
		     Node = atom()

	      Tests are spawned on Node according to TestSpecs .

       run_test(Node, Opts) -> ok

	      Types  Node = atom()
		     Opts = [OptTuples]
		     OptTuples	=  {config,  CfgFiles}	|  {dir,  TestDirs}  |	{suite,  Suites}  |  {testcase,  Cases}  |  {spec,  TestSpecs}	 |
		     {allow_user_terms,  Bool}	| {logdir, LogDir} | {event_handler, EventHandlers} | {silent_connections, Conns} | {cover, Cover-
		     SpecFile} | {userconfig, UserCfgFiles}
		     CfgFiles = string() | [string()]
		     TestDirs = string() | [string()]
		     Suites = atom() | [atom()]
		     Cases = atom() | [atom()]
		     TestSpecs = string() | [string()]
		     LogDir = string()
		     EventHandlers = EH | [EH]
		     EH = atom() | {atom(), InitArgs} | {[atom()], InitArgs}
		     InitArgs = [term()]
		     Conns = all | [atom()]

	      Tests are spawned on Node using ct:run_test/1 .
