OtfFeatures

Explore all the features of Open Test Framework.

	Development Environment Focus on creating value and accomplishing tasks quicker with a clean, fast and powerful development environment for OTX-based tasks. Graphical programming. Drag and drop objects directly into visual test sequences- no programming language to learn. Experts can edit OTX with an text editor like a programming language with OTL, a Java like Pseudo-Code which is fully OTX compatible Use self defined OTX-Templates with place holders support for quick and easy creation of special structured OTX documents Separate specification and implementation views enable you to capture high level sequence first and then add implementation details later Automatically lays out nodes and routes connections for readability Fast processing of very large OTX databases Native and direct working on OTX data (no import or export!) Support of a fully OTX compatible convenience layer above OTX for the generation of test sequences on a high grade of abstraction Already proven in Industrial Environments (Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi etc.)
	Independence Build test sequences, independent from the underlying system. Independent of the underlying runtime system environment. New special run-time systems can be easily added. Independent of vehicle diagnostic runtime system (ASAM server, MVCI-Server). Currently three implementations are supported: VW-MCD, Porsche MVCI-Server and RA-MVCI-Server.
	Team Collaboration Connect the development team through integrated tools that foster collaboration. Integrated SVN Version Control (TortoiseSVN) Differ, Merger etc.
	Execution, Debugging & Diagnostics Identify and solve issues that keep your solution from running correctly. On-the-fly code generation and compilation for execution of test sequences with best performance (C#, arbitrary target languages can be added) Integrated visual debugger with watch window support Set breakpoints, optimize your code and resolve errors Simulation of vehicle diagnostics communication lets you execute and debug your sequences - even before vehicle communication is added Complete support of auto generated generic screens and/or support of mapping to self-designed GUI (Windows Forms)
	Ensure Quality Advanced testing tools assure quality throughout the lifecycle of your solution, enabling high quality software. On-the-Fly design time validation of all standard and new defined checker rules On-the-Fly dead link validation for ODX databases
	Release Management Deploy your solution for any environment with tools that reduce your cycle time and improve your delivery process. Complete integration of workflow control and release management system (Admin-Data) Deploy your solution with integrated MSI-Installer OTX-Viewer for graphically view and analyze OTX in a Browser (Firefox)
	Extensibility Completely new development with an open software architecture for a simple extensibility at almost each layer. Support of various new extensions like File, XML, DiagDataBrowsing+, Core+, EventHandling+ and DataBase (EMOTIVE is initiator and driver of a new ASAM work group for the standardization of further OTX extensions) Stand-alone OTX-API and OTX-Runtime-API for integration in own tools A new OTX runtime environment for Java and for the execution in embedded systems (Lua-Script) is currently under construction
