Abstract:
1. A method comprising: provising a test case software program; determining whether the test case software program is to run in simulation mode; responding to the determination that the test case software program is to run in simulation mode by determining whether a simulation definition file is available; responding to the determination that a simulation mode is available for a test function by loading a parameter from a simulation definition file which has been determined to be available; and obtaining a result of a test function from execution of the test case software program in simulation mode; responding to the determination that a simulation mode is not available by executing the test case software program in original mode; and obtaining a result of a test function from execution of the test case software program in original mode; wherein the test case software program remains unmodified by the response to the determination of whether a simulation mode is available for a test function and the obtaining of a result and further wherein the results obtained by execution in simulation mode and in original mode are kept separate one from the other.
