COURSE OVERVIEW
Duration: 3-5 days, depending on specific attendee requirements
Abstract
This course provides basic training in development of Driver Framework Standard (DFS) Drivers for use with VersaTest Automator. It covers the required internal structure of a DFS driver, the definition and use of required configuration files, the use of DFS standard rules, the creation and use of driver-specific rules, and other required components including the VTALK scripting language. Delegates will build a DFS Driver based on a provided standard framework.
Course Objectives
Practical Skills
On completion of the course, attendees will be able to:
Knowledge and Understanding
Attendees will also gain the following knowledge and understanding:
Pre-Requisites
Purchase of Ascert’s Driver Development Kit (DDK) is required for organizations wishing to perform DFS driver development. The DDK includes tools, documentation, examples and the rights to source code access for a single driver. The DDK must be available on the system used during this course.
All course attendees must have completed the VersaTest Automator Introduction and Test Case development class. Additionally, they will need the technical skills as described below.
