TSP advanced features
Use the Test Script Processor (TSP
®
) scripting engine's advanced features to:
• Run test scripts simultaneously
• Manage resources allocated to test scripts that are running simultaneously
• Use the data queue to facilitate real-time communication between nodes on the TSP-Link
®
network
When test scripts are run simultaneously, it improves functional testing, provides higher throughput,
and expands system flexibility.
There are two methods you can use to run test scripts simultaneously:
• Create multiple TSP-Link networks
• Use a single TSP-Link network with groups
The following figure displays the first method, which consists of multiple TSP-Link networks. Each
TSP-Link network has a master node and a remote connection to the computer.
Figure 137: Multiple TSP-Link networks
Another method you can use to run simultaneous test scripts is to use groups with a single TSP-Link
network. Each group on the TSP-Link network can run a test while other groups are running
different tests.
