5. Load Test Campaign and Configuration Please configure your AVB Test Suites according to your local settings. You can use our MBS (Message Building System) to ease it up.

For further details about Test Suite Parameters, please refer to the integrated user’s guides. Click on Help → Help Contents → Using Automotive AVB Test Solutions.

5.1 Parameter View

In the Parameter View of the Execution Management you find different parameters to change the settings for your individual test configuration.

Step 1 Open the TTsuite-AVB-xxx folder in the Package Explorer (TTCN-3 Development Perspective).

Step 2 In the clf folder, double click on the test campaign loader file xxx.clf (with the icon ).

The perspective will automatically switch into the TTCN-3 Execution Management.

Here is an example test case Avb_Automotive_802_1AS_Testcases.clf:

The Parameters window enables you to configure the parameters specific to Device Under Test (DUT) as well as the Test System (TS). The module parameters allow a quick repetition of test cases with different values. All the parameters have a short description that explains their function.

The configuration parameters in the DUT Parameters contain the hardware address and communication ports of the DUT and have to be retrieved from it. The characteristic parameters are specific to some features that the DUT may or may not have, which will enable or disable some related test cases. Make sure to check the availability of these features on your device and set these parameters accordingly before you launch the test campaign.

www.spirent.com

The TS parameters require only the names of the interfaces that are used for the testing and their corresponding ports. The timers can also be customized to suit the user’s needs.

You can click on the right button over the parameters view to use the Message Building System dialog.

You can access the single parameter and the attributes of single fields in the dialog.

When finished, just click on OK to save the change. The changed parameters are called by the test system during runtime. You can run your test campaign with the new configuration at once without recompilation of your test cases.
