1. Introduction to little pebl clone

Pebl-test is a program which mimics the properties of a program called Pebl. Pebl stands for PEBL: The Psychology Experiment Building Language and can be found from http://pebl.sourceforge.net/ In pebl-test one can create own scripts, use already made scripts to run different tests. The idea of our little pebl-clone is to make this same test program available for open source java. At the moment there exists three different tests that can be run and they're very like the same as in original pebl experiment.

2. Driving the tests

The program needs Java or Java SDK if need to compile. Java SDKcan be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com .
To run the program you should compile it. Go to the directory where the source exists. (It should be this same directory where this index.html is located.) and write commands
>javac PeblTest.java
And to run the program write:
>java PeblTest

After writing the last cmd the program should open up. The program has a main window which includes couple of compounds you need to be aware of. These are the runnable test that you can select from the list box. ie. fourchoice, rotation or vsearch. And the second option in the main window is the subject number which you have to write in the textfield.
For example if your subject number is 3 and you have to run test rotation: You write your subject number in the text field, choose the rotation from the list and press "Run the test".
There's always more information brought to you about doing the actual test when a testwindow is started.


3. Where are the records saved?

The results are saved into file named test-subjectnumber.txt. For example if your subjectnumber is 7 and you'r running vsearch -test you will get a result file named vsearch-7.txt.

4. Source code documentation

Description of the application's basic structure and modification is here. and the javaAPI documentation for source code is here.
