Pattern Test Harness
A new automated Pattern Test Harness was developed into the starter pattern model. This test harness integrates directly to the Wizard Interview in a special mode that allows the tester to make the same choices they will be presented with during the Wizard Interview. This allows for each pattern to be tested with any combination of features defined.
Notes Manager Plug-in
The Notes Manager is a plug-in for CA Gen that allows for common notes to be easily managed across an entire model. It is important to maintain consistent notes within a pattern model so developers have the proper standards documentation to understand and complete the applications after they are created by QAT Wizard. This tool requires that any common notes be tagged using an XML style tag within the note to identify them as “Managed Notes”. This plug-in then allows for the text within these managed notes to be modified across the model. Entirely new Managed Notes can also be created. These changes can be filtered by Clients, Servers and Action Blocks.
