Data Test Program (dt)
63
Future Enhancements Continued…
uFile locks. Multiple procs/threads to the same file w/lock contention.
uIncorporate SCSI library to implement reset triggers, etc.
«faster triggering of analyzers (system() API slow with heavy loads)
«also add SCSI API’s so dt can be used with SCSI pass-through
uInteractive interface to keep the device open, like scu does, to allow more creative tests, querying, etc.
uAdd output formats to allow data to be imported to tools such as MS Excel, etc. (Note: *keepalive= options provide CSV format)
uGUI front-end?  Might be nice, but not necessary for test automation.
«desirable for dynamic features (stats, stop/start device, etc)
uPort to VMS?  If there’s a need, this may happen.
uMy personal goal is to create a modular design with support for testing multiple concurrent devices, POSIX threads, an interactive mode, fully customizable, dynamic statistics, and on-the-fly device interaction.
uPlease send me your wish list! J (better yet, create an RFE BURT)
