Determine Which Processes Are Needed
MTS MultiPurpose TestWare® Creating a Practice Test Procedure 159
Note The process diagram below shows the procedure as a function of time
(from left to right), because it is easy to visualize that way. On the MPT
Procedure Editor you assign the order in which processes run by
assigning start and interrupt triggers to each process. Because of this,
the order of the processes on the MPT Procedure Editor, which are
arranged in a single column, may not determine the order in which they
run.
Basic activities
required to build a test
procedure
Once you have identified the processes needed for a test, you need to perform the
following activities to build the practice test procedure:
• Add the necessary processes to the procedure table
• Sequence the processes with start and interrupt triggers
• Set the parameters of the individual processes
• Select test procedure options
The method used to
build the practice test
procedure
The practice test procedure created in the following pages performs these basic
activities from top-to-bottom. That is, you begin by adding processes to the
procedure table, and finish by setting test procedure options.

This diagram illustrates the sample test sketch in
terms of MPT processes. This graphic is used in
the margins of the following sections to illustrate
adding and sequencing processes in the practice
test procedure. We converted the information in the sample test
sketch into the process diagram illustrated to the
right.
