Version Control of Test Programs on the Touch 1




chal-2-1 (25K)



Challenge




The user wanted to institute standard revision control procedures on the test program or wirelist for a tightly controlled process.  Undocumented changes to a wirelist would not be tolerated in this test process.


chal-2-2 (11K)


Solution




Using the custom component script: comment.cmp (with the option to display comments set to off) in conjunction with the rev_ctrl.cmp, the supervisor enters the revision history as comment components in the wirelist.  A standard part of each wirelist is a CRC signature which is automaticly generated by the tester to reflect the exact structure of the wirelist, including the revision history comments.  After the revision history is recorded and the wirelist is verified, the supervisor takes note of the six digit CRC signature, and appends it to the wirelist description line when saving the wirelist.  Next, the supervisor enables the built in security features of the Touch1.  




Results




Now, at the supervisor's discretion, an undocumented change in the wirelist will either fail the test or simply warn the operator of the out of revision control condition.
