Methods and apparatus that use contextual test number factors to assign test numbers

摘要

In a method for assigning test numbers, current testflow context information is maintained during execution of a testflow. If one or more test number factors have been specified for one or more levels of the current testflow context, the test number factors are used to determine a base number for a current test number range. Otherwise, the base number is set to a default base number. Upon execution of a subtest in the testflow, the result of the subtest is then assigned a next test number in the current test number range. Also disclosed are other methods and apparatus that use contextual test number factors to assign test numbers.
