The Browser User Interface


For a general description of the user interface in SDL Suite and TTCN Suite, see User Interface and Basic Operations.

The TTCN document in the Browser contains items. These are:

The Browser displays all the static items in the order defined in the TTCN standard. This ordering cannot be changed. For example, it is not possible to have the constraints part coming before the declarations part. Only the dynamic items - the tables - may be added and deleted. The structure is indicated by indention.

Figure 183 : The the TTCN Browser window on UNIX

Figure 183 depicts the Browser window. The test suite overview, the import part, the declarations part, the constraints part, the test cases and the defaults library are collapsed. This is indicated by the three dots.

The dynamic part and the test step library are expanded. The test step library contains two test steps: LT and UT. LT has been edited but not analyzed. This is indicated by the shaded bar (gray on a color screen). The table icon indicates that UT is opened and the filled bar (red on a color screen) that UT has been analyzed and is erroneous. Items with no analysis bars have been analyzed and contain no errors.

Items in bold font represent the static (or structural) parts of the TTCN document and cannot be opened or edited. The items in normal font represent named TTCN tables which can be opened and edited.

Some of the static items may remain unused. For example, if Test Case Variables is not used it will still be displayed in the Browser. However, it will not be printed or output in the TTCN-MP format.
