Create the Test XML Configuration File (.testdef)

To define the test parameters and endpoints being monitored during the test in TestStand and VeriStand, you will need to create a Test XML configuration file (.testdef). This configuration file allows the Battery Test System Web UI, the interface users interact with the Battery Test System through, to understand and run your test. This configuration file will need to contain a name and description for a test, as well as information on the properties of the test's parameters and aliases. The test XML configuration file can also contain information on test Battery Test System Web UI plugins if your system utilizes them. Refer to Test Package XML Conventions for XML file tag reference and a sample test XML configuration file.
