+Test if `start`, `stop` and `origin` are set properly.
+For all models (i.e, Devices) having `start`, `stop`, and `origin` parameters, this test
+checks the following:
+    - Default values can be set successfully.
+    - Nodes are created with correct default values.
+    - Nodes can be created with correct default values from the command line.
+    - Parameters can be set via SetStatus.
