Test Method Tool
The Test Method Tool supports easy creation, compilation and 
debugging of test methods. Test methods are customized tests 
(written in C or C++) that use pre-defined functions. These 
functions are provided by several function libraries, called 
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). There are APIs for test 
setup, execution, result retrieval, result analysis and calculation.
The Test Method Tool simplifies the generation of test methods:
 • Easy organization test methods in projects.
 • Test Method editing with a special editor.
The editor supports, for example, the automatic entry of API 
functions and parameters via drop down menus.
