Help document for the WebCGM TS harness frameset

Contents

Frame layout

There are four frames in the WebCGM test harness frameset:

top
This is the title bar, and contains the buttons (links) to the traceability features, including the WebCGM Reference button (link).
bottom
The bottom frame initially contains the navigation bar -- buttons to go to next test, previous test, table of contents, etc. -- as well as the Operator Script. The bottom window is also used by default for presentation of traceability features -- spec reference, test assertions, etc -- when those buttons are activated.
right middle
The right middle frame contains the source for the test -- an html or CGM file. Often it has a link that is activated to execute the test. The instructions will be found in the Operator Script.
left middle
This is the reference frame -- it contains a reference image that shows what should be seen upon successful execution of the test. The Operator Script describes how it should be used.

Navigation through test suite

Use the buttons at the top of the bottom frame. They are self-explanatory:

The parent and child buttons are not implemented (they refer to a planned addition of detailed tests to explore functionality in more depth).

Operator Script

The operator script (bottom frame) defines the Test Purpose, describes how to execute the test, and describes the verdict criteria -- pass/fail -- for the execution of the test.

Traceability features

Traceability features refer to links from the test case back to the test assertions upon which the test case is based. Features in this release of the WebCGM Test Suite:

WebCGM Reference

All Test Assertions

Future feature. The principal test assertion (above) may be one of several that importantly affect the correct execution of the test.
