Test Device Files Screen

This screen allows you to edit Test Device Files and Additional Code Files.

Test Devices are devices which can be tested by XJTAG by interacting with their functionality. The devices and the interaction with them can be complex. Test devices are represented by XJEase device files (*.xje). Often these device files use one or more additional XJEase code files in order to share functionality between similar devices.

The screen has a Navigator control to select the device files or additional code files to edit. All open files are displayed as tabbed documents. These can be docked in various ways, including side by side.

The open files contain a code editor, and device files also have several tabbed panes which allow configuration of various items, including adding or removing additional code files.

When code is modified the file must be saved to update the project. When the project is updated the Errors pane and Warnings pane will be updated to show the current state of the project.

The Test Device Files screen has its own toolbar which normally sits below the main application toolbar. However the entire screen can be undocked from the rest of XJDeveloper, and in this mode it appears as a separate window with its own menu system and toolbar.

The Test Device Files screen is not only used for writing and editing tests, but also for debugging them. Breakpoints can be set in code from this screen and the screen can then be used to resume code execution or single-step through a test.
