Building Test VIs for a Stand-Alone Test Executive Executable

Problem: How do I build Test VIs for use in a stand-alone Test Executive executable that I built?

Solution: To build test VIs for a stand-alone Test Executive executable where the test VIs and callbacks do not call any dynamic VIs (the only dynamic VI calling is done by the original Test Executive engine code), follow the steps below:
  1. Take all of the VIs that are directly called by Test Executive and put them on the block diagram of a new VI. These include all test and callback VIs (including the Edit Test VI Callback, which can have relevance in a run-time situation if you are using test VI shells).

  2. Save this new VI with options for Application Distribution to a new LLB.

  3. Make sure that all of your test sequences call the test VIs from this LLB. Also make sure that the testexec.ini file refers only to callback VIs in this LLB.
If you ever change ANYTHING in any of your VIs, you will need to repeat the whole build process (described above) again.

If your test VIs and callbacks are doing dynamic calls, you must build your test VIs by following the steps in the Test Executive Reference Manual (see the related link below). The reference manual method is more in-depth, and it will work for all cases.
