DD Standard Test Automation Tool
The requirements for submitting an DD for registration are described in FieldComm Group support.
The DD Standard Test Automation Tool (DD-STAT) is a comprehensive test automation tool which assists members of FieldComm Group with the process of registering HART DD projects.
Key features
Collection It assists users to correctly assemble required source code and documentation for the submission.
Evaluation It examines DD source code and tokenizer outputs, comparing them to the requirements of the DD test specification.
Reporting It places the results of the examination into a test report template simplifying the reporting process.
Submission It bundles the information that is required for registration and copies it to FieldComm Group servers.
DD-STAT tests fall into three categories:
Automated tests evaluate DD source code and other artifacts
Tokenizer tests inspect specific outputs from the tokenizers
Manual tests rely on a test engineer to inspect the code base and provide a conclusion
The tool is configured as an extension to the Visual Studio Code ( VSCode ) editor in two pieces:
A command line interface that could be run from a Windows terminal or in a DevOps pipeline.
A user interface window that runs inside the VSCode IDE, which eases user interaction with the tool.
