Table 1 – Tabbed pages for Setup and Result views
Each page can be accessed by using the directional keys to highlight its page tab.
Setup view allows the user to set up the interface and test parameters. If a test is not
running, the settings can be easily changed by moving around the screen with the
directional keys and selecting items with the Enter key. If a test is currently running
the setup pages can be viewed but not changed.
Results view allows the user to view the test results as a test is running or after it has
been stopped. Results view also provides facilities for injecting anomalies and defects
and selecting different displays of test results.
