In our test environment, we pretty much connect one UUT and either run it end-to-end (TestUUTs) or select individual tests and run them (in a debug mode). We don't really have a need for the Single Pass entry point, but I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to modify the process model.
The behaviour I'd like is to (1) Run and end-to-end test if the user selects TestUUT. It would bring up a dialog that allows the user to either enter the serial number manually, or read it using a bar code reader. At the end of the test, the results would display, and the user would NOT be prompted to enter another serial number. In fact, it's quite typical that the same UUT would stay connected for a little while and either (a) tested again, or (b) individual tests would be performed to isolate some suspected problem. That being the case, I'd like to modify the process model to
(1) Display a customized dialog for serial number entry allowing either manual or automated (bar code) entry,
(2) Run end-to-end, but not ask for the serial number of Next UUT
(3) Retain the information for the previously run UUT (at least while the same sequence file is loaded) so that if they decide to run again, they don't have to re-enter/scan the UUT information.
(4) modify the Single Pass entry point so that it instead runs the selected tests.
I know this is a fairly complex operation, but any guidance on 1-4 would be appreciated. Thanks.
