OTX Mapping

One of the most important benefits of OTX is the strict separation of test logic and runtime implementation. The so-called “OTX Mapping” provides platform-independent access to arbitrary external systems. It can be edited within the graphical OTX Mapping Editor.

Advantages:

1. Unlimited access to any external systems
   Enables unrestricted communication with any external systems from within OTX, e.g., test bench hardware, measurement data acquisition, web services, or specialized graphical interfaces.
2. Platform-neutral
   The user can, for example, implement a screen for their target platform or use the provided default implementation for .NET.
3. All mapping information in a single file
   All mapping information is stored in one file. By exchanging this file, the same OTX can be executed on different systems.
