Abstract
A target test framework and method are provided which can enable scenario writer(s) to design and implement driver test(s) by providing a platform to build scenario-based automated tests for device(s) and device driver(s) by using a set of components designed for target testing. The framework enables scenario writer(s) to perform a set of actions across different types device(s). The framework further enables the testing of technology areas common to many targets (e.g., plug and play, power management, install/uninstall, security etc.). Additionally, the framework facilitates automatic identification and/or running of prewritten core functionality test that apply to a particular device. The framework further can allow runtime control of tests and the combining of framework components to form new device functionality tests and large scale scenarios.
