SLSC Regression Test Design Spec

Details
The current SLSC Switch LV API test is manual test. It uses VI Tester to perform SET-2010 and SLSC-12252 test cases. This feature will automate the Switch regression test and integrate it into Dashboard.

Architecture

Test Flow
时序图

For Loopback test cases, when they are deployed to RT targets, they need to call FPGA set/get function on Windows:

Alternatives Considered
Using Skynet framework to automate the test. But the hardware connection and all parameters are fixed. So, the Skynet framework is not suitable.

Feature Checklist

1. Add a Dashboard event and specific Even Variables;
2. Modify the manual test cases so that they can be deployed and ran both on Windows and RT targets;
3. Send parameters from Dashboard to tell the master SLSC driver versions and Slave target;
4. Copy or download the test cases to Slave;
5. Read the test case results from Slave;

Estimated Effort
Total: 5 days
• 2 days for modify test cases from JKI VI Test to ATS and porting PXIe-6363 application to PXIe-7822R
• 2 day for code review and follow comments;
• 1 day to perform ATS to make sure no failure will appear due to the change;
