Virtual Tester List
Use the Virtual Tester List to create a New Virtual Tester, Remove or Copy an
existing one.
Select a Virtual Tester in the Virtual Tester List to apply any changes in the property
tabs on the right.
General Tab
This tab specifies an instance and target deployment to be assigned to the selected
Virtual Tester.
·
VT Name: This is the name of the Virtual Tester currently selected in the Virtual
Tester List. The name of the virtual tester must be a standard C identifier.
·
Implemented INSTANCE: Use this box to assign an instance, defined in the .pts
test script, to the selected virtual tester. This information is used for Virtual
Tester deployment. Select Default to specify the instance during deployment.
·
Target: This specifies the Target Deployment Port compilation parameters for
the selected Virtual Tester.
·
Configure Settings: This button opens the Configuration Settings dialog for the
selected Virtual Tester node.
Scenario Tab
Use this tab to select one or several scenarios as defined in the .pts test script. During
execution, the Virtual Tester plays the selected scenarios.
Family Tab
Use this tab to select one or several families as defined in the .pts test script. During
execution, the Virtual Tester plays the selected families.
Debugging Virtual Testers
In some cases, you may want to observe how your system under test reacts when an
error occurs and the consequences of this error on the whole process, without
stopping the Virtual Tester.
By default, when an error occurs in a block, the execution of the block is interrupted.
To prevent interruption, use the virtual tester debug mode.
You can statically activate the debug mode by compiling the generated Virtual Tester
with the ATL_SYSTEMTEST_DEBUG variable, as in the following example:
cc -c -I$ATLTGT/lib/ -DATL_SYSTEMTEST_DEBUG <source.c>
where $ATLTGT is the current TDP directory.
