Preparing a Customer Test Certificate |

A Test Certificate is a report targeted at your customer. It includes your company details, Technician information, System summary, Result summary and a Certification statement. The report would typically be created after a test run. It is produced by (i) selecting File -> Save report menu and the Test Certificate option or (ii) selecting Preferences->Logging, and selecting a Report type of Customer certificate.

The Test Certificate is a HTML template. This HTML template will need to be modified with your company’s details.

The items in the report that are specific to your customer, and likely to change frequently, can be modified from Edit -> Machine ID & Notes. This is the Customer’s Name and Technician’s name.

The items in the report that are specific to your company, and unlikely to change frequently, can be modified in the HTML template.

A description of the HTML template follows.

Test certificate HTML template

The default location of the HTML test certificate template is the BurnInTest directory. It must be named BITCertificateTemplate.html. This file may be modified in the BurnInTest directory, or copied to the User's "My Documents\PassMark\BurnInTest" directory and modified in this location. This allows modifications in Vista (and later) without administrator privileges, as well as different HTML templates per User account. BurnInTest will first try to use a template from the current User's My Documents directory, and if this is not found, it will use the template in the BurnInTest directory. A sample BITCertificateTemplate.html is provided in the installation package.

Style

The HTML file defines the Styles for the Report in the <style> block. You can change the style, such as font size and colors by modifying the style block.

Company Logo

The first item in the <body> of the HTML file is a <table> containing your company name and logo as a gif file.

For example:

<p>Put your company logo here:</p>

<img src="./Passmark_logo3.gif">

You should modify the text in the first line to be your Company name, and change the logo gif filename to a file containing your company logo.

BurnInTest generated report components

BurnInTest will automatically insert 3 sections where the following marker is placed in the HTML file,

<!--BITCERTIFICATE--> <!--Do not edit this line as it will be replaced by the results report-->

The sections are:

BurnInTest Certificate: Includes Customer name, date, technician name and BurnInTest version.

System summary: Includes summary information about the CPU,OS, RAM, video card and drives.

Result summary: Includes test start and stop times, duration, and a list of tests run with a PASS or FAIL indication.

Certification statement

The certification heading and title can be modified in the HTML file by editing the following sections:

<h2>Certification</h2>

<p>This document certifies that the Tests described above have been carried out by a suitably qualified technician on the System described </p>
