Overview

For professional users it is much more efficient to create and edit OTX in a code editor, especially for big OTX projects. EMOTIVE has developed OTL - Open Test Language. OTL is a Java-like scripting language for the OTX. Designer and code editor synchronize continuously. This allows to seamlessly switch between the two ways of working. The code editor has powerful syntax highlighting and auto complete features.

To open an OTX document in the OTL editor, you can right click on the document node (or a procedure node in that document) and select the 'View code (OTL)' menu, or you can select the document node (or a procedure node in that document) and press 'F7' key.

...

The structure and features of the OTL code editor are described in the following sections.

OTX VS OTL

The OTL has the similar structure of an OTX document. It has 3 main sections as follows: a document info section, a global element section and some procedure (local) sections.

Document information section

This section lies at the header of the OTL code above the namespace code block. It displays almost information of the document tag in the OTX code.

Global element section

This section lies within the namespace code block and above the procedure code blocks. It contains the Imports, Validities, Signatures and GlobalDeclarations sub-sections.

Procedure (local) section

This section lies within the namespace code block and under the global elements section. It contains the LocalDeclarations and the Flow sub-sections.

Line Numbers

With line numbers, you can trace your OTL code easily. Line numbers aren't added to your code; they're just for reference. To show or hide the line numbers, you can use the right click menu of the OTL editor and select the 'Show line numbers' menu. You can also switch the current view of the editor to a particular line number with the right click menu 'Go to line' or with the key shortcut 'CTRL + G'.

Collapsable Code Block

The OTL support users folding the code block to manage large amounts of code while viewing only those subsections in needed time. If a block is unfolded, the folding toggle box [-] indicates the beginning of the region while the line extending below the square box indicates the extent of the code region, the line ends with an edge '∟' which marks the end of the block. For folded blocks, the toggle box is shown as [+] with the [...].

To collapse (hide) a code block, you can click on the box [-] at the beginning of that block. To expand (show) a collapse block, you can click on the box [+] or double clicking on the [...] of that block. You can also collapse or expand all the code blocks by using the right click menu of the OTL editor or using the key shortcuts (Collapse All: 'CTRL + SHIFT + E' and Expand All: 'CTRL + E').

Context menus

Below are the context menus and their descriptions according to their positions from top to bottom.
