# Adding a Model to the Test System

One of OpenBrIM's key features is the ability to ship continuous library and platform releases. The trade-off is that it can be hard to know whether any given release affects your model or your previously-submitted results — release notes alone rarely answer that question.

Setting up a test problem in your workspace lets both you and OpenBrIM engineers re-run the same checks before each release, ensuring nothing has changed unexpectedly.

The steps below show how to set up a test problem.

## Add the Project to the Verification Profile

1. Click **Add to Verification Profile** as shown in the screenshot. The UI updates with test-related controls and additional menu items used in the next steps.

2. Two new menu options appear: **Add Reference Summary Report** and **Run Summary Report Verification (Compare to Reference)**. Each FEA result and each read-only spreadsheet parameter also gains an **Add to Verification** option.

## Add Verifications

To add a read-only parameter or FEA result from the spreadsheet, use the **Add to Verification** button. Add only critical results, not every result, to keep verification time short.

For each check:

1. Pick a relative tolerance (percentage comparison) or a value tolerance (absolute comparison).
2. Choose the log level — **Info**, **Warning**, or **Error** — each has its own color code.
3. Name the check and click **Accept**.

All verifications are visible under **Verify Spreadsheet**, where you can edit values directly from the UI.

## Add the Summary Report Reference

Add the summary-report results as a verification baseline. Today, you can verify the entire summary report only — there is no per-value selection.

1. Run **Design**.
2. Return to the verification profile menu and click **Add Reference Summary Report**.
3. Set the percentage and absolute tolerances. A value fails only when both tolerances are exceeded simultaneously.
4. Click **Continue** — the current summary-report results are uploaded as the reference for future tests and the file is added to your project.

## Run the Tests

1. Click **Test** to open the test system and view your projects. Pick the tests you want to run from the tree view and click the **Play** icon.

2. Test results appear as pass/fail. Use this after each OpenBrIM release as a batch run to confirm nothing has shifted. To check a library update, add the test before the update, click **Update Library**, then re-run the test.
