Abstract
This specification discloses a method for automatic testing PCMCIA cards. The method first loads in the main library of the control panel, then checks and displays the PCMCIA module using the application interface of the control panel library. A SetwindowsHook then loads in dynamic link library (DLL) and checks the TextOut function address from the ModuleList in PCMCIA module for interception and data storage. The peripheral description values are stored in a list and compared with the data intercepted and stored in the ModuleList to complete a test report on correctness or error.
Claims12
A method for automatic testing PCMCIA cards, which method comprises the steps of:
- providing a control panel library (CPL) module, via the application interface of which the PCMCIA module can be checked and displayed;
- providing a display data interception module for intercepting and storing TextOut in a ModuleList of the PCMCIA;
- providing a registration database retrieval module for storing a description value of a peripheral device in a list;
- providing a comparison module, which compares the peripheral description value stored in the list with the TextOut intercepted and stored in the PCMCIA ModuleList;
- and
- generating a report module for displaying a test report on correctness or error for the PCMCIA card.
A method for automatic testing PCMCIA cards, which has the features that a control panel library (CPL) module checks and displays a PCMCIA module;
- that a display data interception module intercepts and stores data in a PCMCIA ModuleList;
- and that the data are compared with data in a registration database retrieval module for generating a report by a report module.
