Hi Alan, Just by experimenting, I discovered that you also need to set DART_TESTING_TIMEOUT. I'm not sure what the relationship (if any) is between CTEST_TEST_TIMEOUT and DART_TESTING_TIMEOUT. I set them both in the file CTestConfig.cmake. I get the feeling that DART_TESTING_TIMEOUT is there for less than historic reasons. Maybe someone from Kitware can shed a light on this.
