  1. Select the Tests/Procedures tab.

  2. Make entries or selections as follows:

New Test Type

ATEasy sets all new tests that you create by default to be type MinMax. To change this default, select a different test type.

Limit Number of Tasks Levels

ATEasy's default is to let you create one task level within a program. If you want to increase the number of task levels, enter the value in this field.

Allow Inserting a Test Below Tests

By default, ATEasy requires that you organize tests under tasks. However, for some simpler programs that do not require this level of organization, you may wish simply to put a few tests directly under the Tests sub-module. Select this checkbox to change ATEasy's default so that you can insert tests directly below the Tests sub-module.

Allow Inserting Tests and Tasks at the Same Level

ATEasy normally prohibits you from creating tasks and tests at the same task level in the program. Select this checkbox to change this default so that you can create Tasks and Tests at the same level.

Allow Inserting Test only at the Last Level

ATEasy's default is to insert new tests only at the last task level. For example, if you have two levels of tasks, you can insert a new test only after the second-level task. To change this default so that you can insert new tests after higher-level tasks, deselect this check box.
