A |
|
| array brackets | Characters LabVIEW uses to wrap control and indicator names of an array. |
| ATML | Automatic Test Markup Language—An industry standard report format commonly used in military and aerospace applications. Refer to the ATML website for more information about ATML. |
C |
|
| caller VI | A VI that calls another VI. |
| code coverage | Measures the percentage of subdiagrams LabVIEW executes when you run a VI. |
| comparison types | How LabVIEW compares resulting values with expected values when checking VIs under test for functional correctness. |
E |
|
| expected value | Value that you specify for a control or indicator of the VI under test. LabVIEW compares this value with the resulting value during test execution. |
I |
|
| input value | Value that you specify for a control or indicator of the VI under test. LabVIEW uses this value as an input for the VI under test during test execution. |
N |
|
| name separator | Character LabVIEW uses to separate control and indicator names of a cluster. |
| NI Requirements Gateway | Application that provides a requirements traceability solution linking development and verification documents to formal requirements stored in documents and databases. Refer to the National Instruments website for information about NI Requirements Gateway. |
R |
|
| requirement IDs | Define traceability relationships between requirements and code. Use requirement IDs with NI Requirements Gateway. |
| resulting value | Value that the VI under test returns during test execution. When you execute a test, LabVIEW runs the VI under test by using the input values you specified in the .lvtest file. |
S |
|
| setup VI | VI that LabVIEW runs before checking the VI under test for functional correctness. LabVIEW passes the output values from the setup VI to the inputs of the VI under test. |
T |
|
| teardown VI | VI that LabVIEW runs after checking the VI under test for functional correctness. LabVIEW passes the resulting values from the VI under test to the inputs of the teardown VI. |
| test | .lvtest file containing the settings that LabVIEW uses to check the VI under test for functional correctness. |
| test case | Contains a set of input values, expected values, and comparison types that LabVIEW uses to check the VI under test for functional correctness. A test contains one or more test cases. |
| test result | .lvutf file containing the test results that LabVIEW displays in the Unit Test Framework Results window. |
| timeout | Amount of time in which LabVIEW must complete a test execution. |
U |
|
| unit testing | Method of testing that verifies the individual units of source code are working properly. |
V |
|
| VI under test | VI that LabVIEW checks for functional correctness when you execute a test. |
