OtfTestSteps

Overview

Easy mode (or Test-Step mode) is a simplified mode for creation of test sequences using test modules. The test modules are implemented procedure signatures packed in a PTX and serves as a library for others. Test sequences reuse these modules via ProcedureCall actions.

Test-Step library in the Toolbox

Test-Step library (PTX) can be imported into OTX project via project settings. In OTF, Test-Step library is displayed in hierachy structures in the Toolbox. And their validities, procedure signatures and procedures which have the Visibility:Public shall be displayed as nodes. The nodes are grouped by the namespaces i.e. the OTX Packages without caring of which library they come from. When a procedure signature node or a procedure node is dragged and dropped into the test sequences, a ProcedureCall action will be created to call and reuse the test sequence. Besides, a validity node can be bound to the ValidFor property of an Action by dragging and dropping the node onto the Action in the workflow designer.

Easy mode (Test-Step mode)

Easy mode can be switched on by clicking the "Easy Mode" button ("") in the Start tab or the Display tab of the Ribbon. This mode of OTF simplifies the property form of ProcedureCall and displays just the signatures parameters, give user the convenience at editing parameters of ProcedureCall actions.
