Abstract
The capabilities of the Universal Ada Test Language (UATL) have been expanded. The UATL was rehosted to an HP Model 9000/Series 300 processor, and a set of test program generation and soft panel instrument control functions were added. HP's interactive test generator (ITG) includes ASCII instrument driver files that characterize the instrument functions and define interactive soft-panel control screens for developing test programs in BASIC. UATL/Ada-based instrument and operator screen control procedures have been written that provide similar functions for generating test programs in Ada. UATL provides a complete set of test support functions in Ada for performing closed-loop testing of a unit-under-test through its external interfaces. In addition to the instrument control functions, the UATL provides real-time digital stimulus/response controls over software or hardware interfaces, online test control and performance monitoring, data recording, and both ASCII and graphical data reduction. Ada introduces the advantages of portability and reusability, extensive data consistency checking, and built-in multitasking support.<>
通用Ada测试语言(UATL)的功能得到了扩展。UATL被重新安置到HP Model 9000/Series 300处理器上,并增加了一组测试程序生成和软面板仪表控制功能。惠普的交互式测试生成器(ITG)包括ASCII仪器驱动文件,这些文件描述了仪器功能,并定义了用于开发BASIC测试程序的交互式软面板控制屏幕。编写了基于UATL/Ada的仪表和操作员屏幕控制程序,为在Ada中生成测试程序提供了类似的功能。UATL在Ada中提供了一套完整的测试支持功能,通过其外部接口对被测单元进行闭环测试。除了仪器控制功能外,UATL还通过软件或硬件接口提供实时数字刺激/响应控制,在线测试控制和性能监控,数据记录以及ASCII和图形数据还原。Ada引入了可移植性和可重用性、广泛的数据一致性检查和内置的多任务支持等优点。
