Running tests

Introduction

Generally speaking, running tests in ANY-maze is quite straight-forward, however you will inevitably come across problems - the apparatus will be misaligned with the apparatus map, an animal might jump off a plusmaze, you'll start a test accidentally, etc.

In this section you'll find links to topics which not only explain how to perform tests but also explain how to resolve the problems that you might encounter.
