The ATML TD translator translates a <TestGroup> element as a TestStand sequence and names the sequence using the value of the name attribute of the <TestGroup> element.

Incremental Update  The translator uses the name attribute to distinguish <TestGroup> elements. If you modify the name attribute of a <TestGroup> element, the translator considers the element a new <TestGroup> element and creates a new sequence that corresponds to that <TestGroup> element.

Attributes

A <TestGroup> element includes an xsi:type attribute that specifies one of the following values. The translator uses the value of the xsi:type attribute to determine the order in which steps in the translated sequence execute.

• TestGroupSequence
• TestGroupParallel
• TestGroupDiagnosticModel
• TestGroupSerial
• TestGroupUnspecifiedOrder

For attributes of the <TestGroup> element other than the xsi:type attribute, the translator stores the attributes as TestStand PropertyObject attributes of the translated sequence.

Incremental Update  The translator adds, modifies, or deletes attributes in sequences if you added, modified, or deleted the attributes in the source TD instance document.

Child Elements

The translator translates the following child elements of the <TestGroup> element to TestStand constructs:

• <Description>
• <Outcomes>
• <ParameterDescriptions>
• <TestResultDescriptions>
• <Conditions>
• <Initialization>
• <Termination>
• <Extension>
