==Introduction==
The '''New Eiffel test wizard''' creates new tests based on information entered by a developer on a series of wizard panes. Each of the three test types supported by the Eiffel Testing Framework requires certain unique information. Therefore, there is a unique sequence of wizard panes corresponding to each test type.

This pane appears slightly different for synthesized tests versus manual or extracted tests. The class name is actually a prefix upon which a numeric index will be appended. The index is depicted to the right of the entry box.

Other information necessary for creating generated tests is:
*'''Cutoff (minutes)''' -- How long the Eiffel Testing Framework will execute random invocations of the routines in the classes to be tested, specified in minutes.
*'''Cutoff (invocations)''' -- How long the Eiffel Testing Framework will execute random invocations of the routines in the classes to be tested, specified by invocation count.
*'''Routine timeout (seconds)''' -- How long the Framework will wait for completion of any invocation.
*'''Random number generation seed''' -- The seed used for random number generator used during the process. A value of zero instructs the Framework to use a seed derived from the system clock.
*'''Use slicing for minimization''' -- Designate '''slicing''' as the approach for minimizing the size of synthesized tests.
*'''Use ddmin for minimization''' -- Designate '''ddmin''' as the approach for minimizing the size of synthesized tests.
*'''Cutoff (minutes)''' -- How long AutoTest will execute random invocations of the routines in the classes to be tested, specified in minutes.
