We present here a unit test for windows that can be performed using the following programs in the SanXoT software package:

For detailed explanations, check notes about the Unit test for SanXoT.

To run the unit test, you need to download:

1) download the windows executables, SanXoT.zip. Unzip them in a folder specific for the program.

2) download the files for the unit test, unitTestSanXoT.zip. Unzip to a working folder. You should have four text files:

  • commands.bat, a windows batch file with command lines to run this sample analysis.
  • startingFile.xls, a tab-separated-values text file with identifications and quantitative data from a proteomics experiment.
  • dbcats_rels.xls, a tab-separated-values with data downloaded from DAVID and modified using Camacho.
  • tagFile.txt, a tab-separated-values with the tags to merge the experiments.

3) Get the path of your working folder and modify the following lines in the command.bat text file accordingly:

set unit=D:
set programFolder="D:\programs\sanxot\standalone exes"
set workingFolder="D:\sanxot_unit_test\data"

4) Execute the bat file, copy and paste the whole commands.bat text into a command prompt window (you can also just double click the bat file; however, if an error arises, the CMD window created will close, so the text of the error will not be available).

5) Wait until it finishes, in about 1-2 minutes (for a regular PC)

6) Compare your results with the data in the results folder of unitTestSanXoT.zip (for example using a comparison software such as Beyond Compare).
