3 - Basic Tests


Basic tests are the ones listed in "Standard Tests" panel of global options of CD-DVD Speed, and are executed in the "Benchmark" tab of the main window.

There are two ways to execute these tests: singularly or all in sequence. Each test can be selected singularly from "Run Test" menu. To execute tests in sequence, the first thing to do is select, in global options, which tests must be ran. Then, it's sufficient to press the "Start" button.

As seen in introduction, there are five tabs in main window. Here will be given only a list of these parts, but each will be described in detail in its dedicated section.

Benchmark: The section dedicated to all basic tests. This interface is pretty much the same in all versions of CD-DVD Speed.

Create Disc: Starting from version 4.50, was introduced a new section that allows the user to execute a little improved writing disc test. However, the "classic" writing test can be still executed in the "Benchmark" section.

Disc Info: Show some detailed informations about media loaded in the drive.

Disc Quality: The section dedicated to quality test of burned media. Often this test is also called "Scan".

Scan Disc: The section dedicated to a little different quality test of media.
