Design - Test Set - Test Relationship

Overview

Test Sets and Tests are searchable within collections. The IDesign interface supports direct recasting into an ITestSetCollection, whereby any Test Set can then be searched for by Name, ID or Index. Once Test Sets are found, the ITestSet supports a collection-style interface that allows Tests to be searched for by Name, ID or Index. This is the Drill-Down process for Tests Sets and Tests. Parent interfaces are searchable by using the IExpressEntity interface.

Drill-Down

The IDesign interface can be recast into an ITestSetCollection
An Test Set Collection can query for an ITestSet by name, index or ID
Test Sets support Collection-Style searching for each ITest by name, index or ID
Both Test Set and Test interfaces can be recast into an IAttrCollection for finding Attributes
Tests also support recasting to ITestTargetCollection, ITestCoverageCollection, ITestStimuliCollection and ITestStateCollection
The various Test Collections (e.g. ITestTargetCollection) are used to obtain interface pointers to entities called out by the Test

Parent Searching

An Test Sets's parent is the Design
A Test's parent is an Object
Test Set Collections and other Collections do not have parents
