Unit Test

[SteveChandler]

Anyone using the unit test framework? I just got a license today and have started playing with it.

Can you give any tips or suggestions? Anything in particular I should watch out for?

One thing that comes to mind is if the vi under test has a dialog button that pops up. How do I deal with that? Is there any way to simulate user interaction on the front panel?

Hey Steve,

I have found some documents that I hope will help you.

Thanks. I am looking over those links.

But what I still can not figure out is how to automate the testing of a vi that requires user interaction such as if it displays a popup dialog. I am thinking it is not possible.

Hey all you regulars, Jack, Christian, Ben, Darin, Darren, tst, Jeff, Broken Arrow, etc.... Does anyone use either the NI unit test framework or vi tester? What about Requirements Gateway? I am just curious as to how popular this stuff is..

Edit: Oh yea is there another forum for those?

Hi,

I'm a bit curious about this toolkit.

Is it possible to simulate the state of physical inputs?

I understand that you can simulate the state of the inputs of the VI but can you simulate inputs that come from acquisition devices.

My goal is to validate a program which purpose is to acquire data, process them and send them via an EDEGE connexion.

I need to test the program with the complete range of my inputs (wich are PT100 probes) so i realy need a way to simulate their state.

thanks

Hello supercoincoin!

You can simulate inputs using the Measurement and Automation Explorer:

You can go over the functionality of the Unit Test Framework toolkit here:

I hope this is helpful.

Have a good day!
