If several test cases are performed one after the other on a DUT all of these test results together form a test sequence Each different DUT has at least one test sequence If required however several test sequences with different properties of the DUT can be created At the beginning of each series of tests a new test sequence is generated via the menu or in the toolbar Alternatively an existing test sequence can be selected again if for example not all test cases have yet been processed In both cases a dialog box then opens in which details concerning the test sequence must be entered This information is displayed in the list of existing test sequences in order to make selection easier 2 2 2 2 1 Processing Test Cases a Please enter test sequence information Device Tested UPPS800 Serial Number 100145 Manufacturer Rohde amp Schwarz Testing Date 2015 03 21 Operator Illich Reporting Version 01 00 comments preliminary testing Information concerning the DUT the manufacturer the operator and a defined date e g the order date of a customer are specified here Processing Test Cases After a new test sequence has been created all that remains is to start the test sequence by clicking the Start testing button in the toolbar All marked test cases are now processed until either all have been processed or processing is stopped guration F During processing
