4.5 Renaming states or testlets, respectively<br />

State elements<br />

A new state or testlet receives an automatically generated name during its creation (“testletxx”).<br />

Change the name by first selecting the testlet within the automaton or the testlet browser,<br />

then use F2 or left-click on the state symbol. After a slight delay a cursor appears within the<br />

symbol and the new name can by typed.<br />

To enter names that consist of multiple lines press ENTER to move the cursor to the next line,<br />

and SHIFT+ENTER to finish editing.<br />

4.6 Embedded testlets<br />

As mentioned previously a testlet is assigned to each state (which has been modelled with<br />

“time partition” or “direct definition”). The hierarchy of testlets is reflected in the testlet<br />

browser. To directly select a testlet shown within any of the tabbed work areas, click on the<br />

corresponding testlet’s entry in the testlet browser. You will immediately see the content of the<br />

selected testlet in the “content” tab of the main window, either in the form of an associated<br />

sub-automaton or as a set of equations.<br />

Alternatively, you may select the content of a testlet by double-clicking on the state assigned to<br />

it in the currently displayed automaton. If this testlet in turn is an automaton, this can be<br />

repeated until you encounter a testlet that has been modelled with definition equations. Such<br />

a testlet may not contain other testlets.<br />

The overall test model is finished only if all testlets are have been modelled completely and correctly. If<br />

the testlet browser still contains testlet nodes with grey question marks, the modelling of these testlets<br />

has not been completed.
