test tool for Pvss project

[achka]

hi
any body has an idea how to built an automated testing tool to test if a pvss project works correctly ?
some kind of black box test.

Hello,

some tests you can do with standard functionalities.
Which tools can be used depends on the tests you want to make.
WinCC OA contains a lot of functionality (alarming, redundancy, archiving, driver communication, ....) and there is no tool available to test all functionalities at once.

We use often CTRL-scripts for the simulation of PLC values, for reporting tests you could use the Excel Report for example.

hi, thank us for your reply
but the problem is, i want to check, when i start the Project and ui, if the panels (processobject, button, trendwindow) have no error
how check it by script

To check the syntax of panels you can use the '-syntax panels' option of the user interface. The manager always returns 0, so to get the number of syntax errors you need to read the 'PVSS_II.log' file or create your own external error handler (ExternErrHdl).
