Hi everyone,
Background: I just started a new job and I have been asked to code in VB .NET. I don't have much of programming background and so all this is new to me. Never used VB .NET before. However, I have now familiarized myself though with VB .NET coding by reading books and watching training videos.
What's to be done: We are writing this software for an automated test system that will run, say 150, different tests on a device in order to test the functionality of the device. I have been asked to create an XML Class that will perform various functions like writing the log file in XML, read the test parameters from a configuration file in XML, sequence file in XML, etc.
Specific question: I don't quite understand how a "sequence file in XML" will work. I believe what they asked me to do is to have an XML file that will help choose the sequence in which all the different tests will be run. Have an option to skip some tests if the user chooses to. And give an option to run a specific test 500 times instead of just once. And so on.
Does it all make sense? Is this something I can build into my XML class? If so, can someone please give me some direction of how and where to start?
