ITH as a Platform: Concepts and Practical Examples

This section provides detailed concepts and practical examples for using the Integration Test Harness (ITH) as a platform.

• Actions, Assertions and Synchronisation
  • Conceptual definition
  • Design and implementation
  • Usage Example 1 (simple): Command + LRC & State Synchronisation
  • Usage Example 2 (intermediate): Custom action
• State Machines and Automated Navigation
  • Conceptual definition
  • The core idea: state space as a directed graph
  • Design and implementation
  • Relationship with Actions
  • Usage Example: Subarray Observation State Navigation
  • Api Reference
• Configuration and Subsystems
  • Conceptual definition
  • Configuration: ITHConfig and SubsystemConfig
  • Subsystem: device proxy management
  • Usage Example: Multi-target Telescope Wrapper
  • When to use (and when not to)
