# Pathfinding Greybox Matrix Testing Setup Instructions
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
This document outlines the step-by-step process for setting up a scene to perform automated greybox matrix testing of the pathfinding algorithms.
|
|
|
|
## Scene Setup Steps
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new scene or use an existing pathfinding scene
|
|
|
|
2. Add the required components to the scene:
|
|
- GridMap
|
|
- NPC
|
|
- UI Canvas for the test controls
|
|
|
|
3. Create the following UI elements on the Canvas:
|
|
- Panel (as a container)
|
|
- Text (TMP) for status display
|
|
- Button for starting tests
|
|
- Slider for progress visualization
|
|
|
|
4. Create an empty GameObject and attach the PathfindingTester.cs script
|
|
|
|
5. Configure the PathfindingTester component:
|
|
- Assign the GridMap reference
|
|
- Assign the NPC reference
|
|
- Assign the UI components (button, text, progress bar)
|
|
- Configure test parameters as needed:
|
|
- Tests Per Combination
|
|
- Delay Between Tests
|
|
- Results File Name
|
|
|
|
## UI Layout Recommendations
|
|
|
|
1. Place the status text at the top of the panel to show current test status
|
|
2. Place the progress bar below the status text
|
|
3. Place the "Start Tests" button at the bottom
|
|
4. Make the panel semi-transparent so you can still see the grid behind it
|
|
|
|
## Test Matrix Configuration
|
|
|
|
You can customize the test matrix by modifying these arrays in the PathfindingTester.cs script:
|
|
|
|
- algorithmsToTest: Which algorithms to test
|
|
- gridSizesToTest: Which grid sizes to test
|
|
- mazeDensitiesToTest: Which maze densities to test
|
|
- diagonalMovementOptions: Whether to test with diagonals enabled/disabled
|
|
|
|
## Running Tests
|
|
|
|
1. Enter Play mode in the Unity editor
|
|
2. Click the "Start Tests" button
|
|
3. Wait for all tests to complete
|
|
4. Test results will be saved in a CSV file in the "TestResults" folder in the persistent data path
|
|
|
|
## Analyzing Results
|
|
|
|
The CSV file contains detailed information about each test:
|
|
- Algorithm used
|
|
- Grid size
|
|
- Maze density
|
|
- Diagonal movement setting
|
|
- Time taken (ms)
|
|
- Path length (nodes)
|
|
- Nodes explored
|
|
- Memory used
|
|
- Whether a path was found
|
|
- Test index (for repeated tests)
|
|
|
|
Import the CSV into a spreadsheet application for further analysis and visualization. |
