Usage

Backpedal provides two clients: one for use in FIT test cases and another than can be called by Java code. In both cases, the Backpedal configuration file must be available in the classpath. In addition, its possible to signal the Backpedal server to backpedal via telnet.

Usage with Telnet

Simply do the following:

• telnet [SERVER]:[PORT] (where SERVER is the machine name on which the Backpedal server is running and PORT is the port the Backpedal server is listenting on).
• type 'backpedal' and press return.

Usage with FIT

Backpedal provides a FIT fixture called net.sourceforge.backpedal.client.fit.BackpedalFitFixture. Simply call this fixture at the end of your FIT test. You can initiate backpedalling using this configuration: And you can stop the Backpedal server by using this configuration:

Usage with Java

Backpedal provides a simple Java class to allow you initiate backpedalling and stop the server. Code goes as follows:

    final BackpedalClient client = new BackpedalClient();
    client.backpedal();
    .....
    client.stopServer();
