OPTIONS
&gfs-options;
+
+ TESTING
+
+ yaz-ztest normally returns a random hit count between
+ 0 and 24. However, if a query term includes leading digits, then the
+ integer value of that term is used as hit count. This allows testers
+ to return any number of hits. yaz-ztest includes
+ 24 MARC records for testing. Hit counts exceeding 24 will make
+ yaz-ztest return the same record batch over and over..
+ So record at position 1, 25, 49, etc .. are equivalent.
+
+
+ The following databases are honored by yaz-ztest:
+ Default, slow
+ and db.* (all databases with prefix "db"). Any
+ other database will make yaz-ztest return diagnostic
+ 109: "Database unavailable".
+
+
+ Options for search may be included in the form or URL get arguments
+ included as part of the Z39.50 database name. The following
+ database options are present: search-delay,
+ present-delay, fetch-delay
+ and seed.
+
+
+ The former, delay type options, specify
+ a fake delay (sleep) that yaz-ztest will perform
+ when searching, presenting, fetching records respectively.
+ The value of the delay may either be a fixed floating point
+ value which specifies the delay in seconds.
+ Alternatively the value may be given as two floating point numbers
+ separated by colon, which wil make yaz-ztest perform
+ a random sleep between the first and second number.
+
+
+ The database parameter seed takes an integer
+ as value. This will call srand with this integer to
+ ensure that the random behavior can be re-played.
+
+
+ Suppose we want searches to take between 0.1 and 0.5 seconds and
+ a fetch to take 0.2 second. To access test database Default we'd use:
+ Default?search-delay=0.1:0.5&fetch-delay=0.2.
