Detailed Description

Executable part of an OTX document

A procedure element represents an executable part in an OTX document. It can be used as the entry point for the OTX runtime when a test sequence must be executed, but it can also be the target of a ProcedureCall from another OTX procedure.

Note: A procedure without realisation represents a NOP (No Operation) at runtime. The same applies procedure signatures without realisation.; Special semantic for main-procedures: If the name attribute of a procedure has the value main, then this procedure will be treated as a top-level procedure which represents the entry point for test sequence execution in an OTX application. Main-procedures are always public. They can be called by other OTX test sequences also like normal procedures.

Checker rules: CheckerRule.Core_Chk007 – Have specification if no realisation exists
CheckerRule.Core_Chk008 – Public main procedure

Member Data Documentation

◆ extendedRealisation

ExtensibleProcedureRealisation OpenTestSystem.Otx.Core.Procedure.extendedRealisation

Declares a procedure which can be extented by additional realisations defined in new OTX extensions using the standardised extension mechanism, example: flow chart procedure. This procedure can be called by the ProcedureCall.

◆ implements

OtxLink OpenTestSystem.Otx.Core.Procedure.implements

This optional attribute supports the signature concept. It contains the qualified name of the signature that a procedure implements.

Checker rules: CheckerRule.Core_Chk026 – No duplicate validities for procedures implementing the same signature
CheckerRule.Core_Chk027 – Procedure parameters match signature parameters
CheckerRule.Core_Chk053 – No dangling OtxLink associations
CheckerRule.Core_Chk067 – Procedure is visible from the implementing signature

◆ realisation

ProcedureRealisation OpenTestSystem.Otx.Core.Procedure.realisation

Specifies the procedure realisation.

◆ validFor

OtxLink OpenTestSystem.Otx.Core.Procedure.validFor

Validity of procedure realisations.

This optional procedure attribute supports the signature concept which is based on the validities concept. It can be connected to a Boolean context variable, a global Boolean constant or a Validity term. At runtime, the truth value of the associated context variable, constant or the validity term determines whether a procedure shall be executed (validity value is true) or not (validity value is false). This allows context-based disabling/enabling of procedures. Refer to the ProcedureCall action.

Checker rules: Core.CheckerRule.Core_Chk013 – Correct referencing of validities
Core.CheckerRule.Core_Chk053 – No dangling OtxLink associations

◆ visibility

Visibility OpenTestSystem.Otx.Core.Procedure.visibility

Procedure visibility

The visibility levels are described by the Visibility enumeration.

Note: Special semantic for main-procedures: Main-procedures are always PUBLIC.
