TestClass / RDADataTypesTest

This class is for application developers to test reading and writing properties and values.

Running instances

Will in future run on a dedicated test system. For now they are not always available. Currently available on the virtual frontend vmla01.

1. TestDeployUnit.vmla01 RDADataTestDevice

Properties

Suggestions

• Rename to RDADataTypesTest / RDADataTypesTestDU - OK
• test whether the values set during the test can be retrieved again - OK
• use client like Solveigh's /home/bel/matthies/lnx/runtime-EclipseApplication/RDADataTypesTestClient that tests all the available properties and values - OK
• test what happens if array dimensions are not met (e.g. overflow) - OK
• test two-dimensional arrays - not possible yet, see https://www-acc.gsi.de/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=367
• adapt test software for 64 bit systems once FESA3 is ready
• test long long data types on x86_64 systems only - BUG? see https://www-acc.gsi.de/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=366
• test insertion of wrong types - OK
• test string type / string arrays - string types OK
• test uint types
• support an enum test type (like .e.g ON-OFF-UNKNOWN)
