Abstract
A test apparatus comprising functional entities, FEs, which are assigned to a selected test case, TC, of a test case pool, TCP, by shifting a test case item, TCI, representing the selected test case, TC, to functional block items, FBIs, representing functional entities, FEs.
Claims9
A test apparatus comprising:
- functional entities, FEs, which are assigned to a selected test case, TC, of a test case pool, TCP, by dragging a test case item, TCI, representing the selected test case, TC, to functional block items, FBIs, representing the respective functional entities, Fes, and by dropping the dragged test case item, TCI, on the functional block items, FBIs;
- and
- a processing unit adapted to compare test capabilities required by the selected test case, TC, as indicated by its associated test case item, TCI, with test capabilities offered by the functional entities, FEs, assigned to the selected test case, TC, as indicated by the functional block items, FBIs, of the assigned functional entities, FEs;
- wherein, if the test capabilities offered by the functional entities, FEs, assigned to the selected test case, TC, match the test capabilities required by the selected test case, TC, a test procedure using the assigned functional entities, FEs, for the test case, TC, is initiated in response to an input command if no further test cases, TCs, are selected from the test case pool, TCP;
- and
- wherein, if there is no matching of test capabilities, the user is informed that the test capabilities of the test apparatus are not sufficient for the selected test case, TC, and an already running test case procedure is deactivated to get more available resources within the test apparatus for the selected test case, TC, based on a drag and drop operation of the user for test case deactivation.

A method for testing devices by means of a test apparatus,
- wherein functional entities, FEs, of said test apparatus are assigned to a selected test case, TC, of a test case pool, TCP, by dragging a test case item, TCI, representing the selected test case, TC, to functional block items, FBIs, representing the functional entities, Fes, and by dropping the dragged test case item, TCI, on the functional block items, FBIs;
- and
- wherein test capabilities required by the selected test case, TC, as indicated by its associated test case item, TCI, are compared with test capabilities offered by the functional entities, FEs, assigned to the selected test case, TC, as indicated by the functional block items, FBIs, of the assigned functional entities, FEs;
- wherein, if the test capabilities offered by the functional entities, FEs, assigned to the selected test case, TC, match the test capabilities required by the selected test case, TC, a test procedure using the assigned functional entities, FEs, for the test case, TC, is initiated in response to an input command if no further test cases, TCs, are selected from the test case pool, TCP;
- and
- wherein, if there is no matching of test capabilities, the user is informed that the test capabilities of the test apparatus are not sufficient for the selected test case and an already running test case procedure is deactivated to get more available resources within the test apparatus for the selected test case, based on a drag and drop operation of the user for test case deactivation.
