Creating FC InFusion Scenarios is easy, but it requires an understanding of the following
terms defined in Table 4.3.
TABLE 4.3: Key Scenario Terms
Scenario Actions
After you enter the set of Events for a test state, the menu‐driven interface prompts you
for the corresponding Action or set of Actions. If you define multiple Actions, the Actions
occur simultaneously.
Note: The Actions displayed are dependent on the Events selected.
Term Definition
Action FC InFusion response to an Event. See “Scenario Actions” on
page 279 .
Event Condition that is detectable by FC InFusion. See “Scenario Events”
on page 295 .
Combined Event Logical OR association of Events (for example, Event A OR Event
B).
Global Rules Portion of a Scenario that can define a single FC InFusion test
state. You can think of the Global Rules and each sequence as a
separate test routine or program operating within the Scenario.
Each operates independently and in parallel with the others. The
purpose of each is to detect Events and then respond with the
appropriate Action or set of Actions. In essence, you can operate
up to three test states simultaneously within FC InFusion ‐ one is
the Global Rules, and the other two are the 2 active states, one in
each sequence. See
“Global Rules” on page 290 .
Sequence Portion of a Scenario that can define multiple FC InFusion test
states. More flexible than the Global Rules, a sequence allows
more powerful Scenarios that include branching and looping
between test states (Global Rules can define only a single test
state, so there is no branching). See
“Sequences” on page 290 .
State “Behavior” of the Global Rules or a sequence at any point in time.
In terms of FC InFusion testing, behavior is “waiting” for a set of
Events and responding with a set of Actions.
