TestCenter

TestCenter is a test executive GUI that communicates with and controls ATPs written in our Automation Python Test Framework.

Engineering

With TestCenter, an engineer can...

Visualize the Test Procedure, PASS/FAIL criteria, and initial data values
Debug the ATP by setting breakpoints in TestCenter on Test Steps and stepping through problematic parts of the procedure
Use PyCharm CE to debug the Python test-code line-by-line while TestCenter is executing the ATP
View test PASS/FAIL data and visually see how close results are to their min/max criteria limits
See all Python stdout/stderr in the Console window, and interact with the ATP's stdin via the Console

With TestCenter, a test operator on the production floor can...

Be presented with a stripped-down GUI for production test running ONLY
Set the operator's identity to capture the operators name and test station's name on each ATP test report
Enter in requested fields before running the ATP such as: Serial Number, Batch Number, or configuration values.
Click the green START button to run the ATP
Interact with GUI dialog prompts designed by the test engineer
See simple PASS/FAIL result of whole ATP when finished
