Abstract:
1. A functional unit for carrying out a logical test case on a test system interconnected to a unit to be tested, comprising: a structure; an arrangement for interconnecting the structure between the logical test case and the test system in such a way that the logical test case is capable of being decoupled from the test system; an arrangement for supporting an execution of the logical test case on the test system as mediator; an arrangement for configuring an interconnection of at least one of an interconnected individual logical test step and a logical test step grouped into a category with an interconnected test tool; a plurality of test tool adapters each connecting a respective test tool to the functional unit and converting calls to the at least one of an interconnected individual logical test step and a logical test step grouped into a category into calls to the respective test tool; a first interface for interconnecting at least one of a test description language and a test sequential control, in which the logical test case is implemented; and a plurality of test language adapters each corresponding to a respective test description language or test sequential control and connected to the first interface in order to interconnect logical test cases; wherein the logical test case is independent of the test system.
