Project Manager

AutomationDesk®’s Project Manager is the ideal way to organize the sequences, data, and results of test projects. Tests are reproducible, for example, they can be executed repeatedly to perform regression testing. Tests can be arranged according to the functions under test, the ECUs in a network, the development stages, and the users involved in a project.

 

AutomationDesk’s libraries can be set to offline mode, so that tests that use them are executable even if required external software or hardware is not available. The test steps then use default behavior to enable test execution. For example, tests can be executed without a hardware-in-the-loop simulator being connected to AutomationDesk. You can define the return values for the default behavior yourself, or record them in an online test execution run.

AutomationDesk can automatically generate report documentation based on the test results. You can select from a library of report test steps (such as AddText, AddTable, or AddPicture) to specify the report's contents. The report begins with statistics on all the test results. You can produce a detailed report, or a brief report that helps you judge the current quality of an ECU at a glance. Additionally, there are various options for controlling the level of detail and the format of the reports. Reports are usually generated in HTML or PDF format, but almost any kind of output format can be generated with user-defined XML style sheets.

 

With the AutomationDesk version control interface, you can integrate version control systems that have the Microsoft^® Source Code Control (SCC) interface, for example, Microsoft^® Visual SourceSafe, MKS^® Source Integrity, or IBM^® Rational^® ClearCase^®.
