SelfTest

Initiates Algosim’s self-test program.

Syntax

• SelfTest()

Description

SelfTest() starts a new process which will execute Algosim’s self-test program.

There is usually no need to run this function; it will not detect an issue not present at compile-time. However, a few of the almost 500 000 tests involve timings and stochastic processes that may cause a test to fail (due to poor system performance or bad luck).

In addition, a few of the tests attempts to access Windows GUI functions; these may fail if the workstation is locked.

Finally, please note that sounds may be played during the execution of the program, especially in the chapter testing MIDI functions.
