• No time dependencies - simulate for 24 hours.
• day attributes              attributes                - simulate for 1 week
• date attributes             attributes              - simulate for 1 month
• cron attributes             attributes              - simulate for 1 year
• repeat attributes             - simulate for 1 year

Additionally if time base attributes like, time, today,cron has no minutes, then the simulator will use 1-hour resolution.

Here is an example of a text-based suite definition that use uses a verify attribute, for which we want to check our assumption about the dynamic behaviour.

suite dead_lock
  family family
    task t1
      trigger t2 == complete
    task t2
      trigger t1 == complete
  endfamily
endsuite

from ecflow import Defs,Suite,Family,Task,Trigger

        Suite("dead_lock",

                Task('t2',

theResult = defs.simulate(); # simulate the definition
assert len(theResult) != 0, "Expected simulation to return errors"
