Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method for testing and/or debugging runtime systems, particularly runtime systems used for solving MES (manufacturing execution system) problems. According to the invention, a user uses an editor to link graphic elements to an activity diagram that can be visually depicted on a display device. Communication relationships can be established between the activity diagrams by using appropriate means. In addition, the operation of an asynchronously cooperating state machine is described by an activity diagram.
