Standard and functional tests 

After you have finished your library, you need to run some tests. 

Standard tests

Compile test

• Run a compile test with all PLCnext Engineer versions for which the library is released. For this test, all functions and function blocks must be instantiated in a test project.

As a result, there must be no warnings and no errors. 

Extended identifiers

• Run a compile test with activated and deactivated extended identifiers. For this test, all functions and function blocks must be instantiated in a test project.
  To activate or deactivate extended identifiers go to Extras\Options\Compiler\IEC Compiler Settings

As a result, there must be no warnings and no errors. 

Functional test

• Run a function test of all specified functions. You must test all the functions listed in the description and documentation. 

  The test must also contain at least the following elements:

  • Invalid input values and the corresponding diagnostic message.
  • Different task cycle times (IDLE, 20 ms, 500 ms).
  • For communication using handshakes, different bus speeds must be tested.

As a result, the function has to be as specified. There must be no warnings and no errors.
