========================================

Time to Plan the entire FrameWork: 2.5 hours
Time to Code Test Stubs:  5 mins for each Test Step
Time to Code libraries, JSON Loader, cmdLaunch, ThreadLaunch:  3 hours
Time to contruct memory mapper to plot: 2.5 hours
This part really took a long time to implement and get it working nicely. Even then, 
I feel I am not handling the process1 gracefully. 

Time to code plotting routine: 5 mins

--------------

This is how I thought:

	(i) A directory structure should be maintained to place the codes of interest
	(ii) All test codes, test_definition file should be in integration folder
	(iii) All modules should be in lib directory
	(iv) Master script should reside in main folder in this case QATEST



	(a) A single master scripts should call all other scripts
	(b) A test Step may be a single command to be run or list of several commands (in case of tasks)
	(c) The starting time, ending time should be handled by the code that launches the commands.
	(d) The code can be either launched by cmdLaunch.py or threadLaunch.py depending on step or tasks. 
	(e) A single filehandler should be propagated to capture the output.
	(f) Also, valuable output should be printed into stdout
	(g) A test definition files should exist, to place testing environment.
	(h) The various outout files, psBefore, psAfter summary should all have time stamps.


The Output of an Example Run is Included

1) tar -zcvf qatest.tgz
2) cd QATEST/integration
3) The following files are present

	psAfter.txt-<Time Stamp>
	psBefore.txt-<Time Stamp>
	summary.txt-<Time Stamp> 	
4) cd QATEST/
Following files are present
	memory_performance.png (plot of free memory)
	output.txt ( An example of actual run output)	

To Test:

cp qatest.tgz /tmp/
tar -zxvf qatest.tgz
cd QATEST/
python RunTest.py
After the run finishes you should find the plot and output printed to output
cd integration/
You will find the psBefore, psAfter and summary.txt
