Abstract:
A system for validating software objects in a testplan written in an object-oriented programming language by a developer using a test executive software program, the testplan configured to control hardware components to be tested by a test system, comprising:a processor electrically coupled to a local interface; a memory electrically coupled to the local interface; validation logic stored on the memory and executed by the processor, the validation logic configured to validate a software object in a testplan written in an object-oriented programming language by a developer using a test executive software program, the testplan configured to control hardware components to be tested by a test system, the validation logic including: logic to detect at least one actual problem in the software object to be validated prior to execution of the software object by the test system to control a corresponding hardware component; and logic to display at least one problem indication corresponding to the at least one actual problem in a context of the software object.
