Visual OPCTest Validator architecture is based on three key components. First, it is a full-featured OPC client for Data Access, Data eXchange, Alarm & Events, Historical, Batch, and Security OPC Servers. Second, it provides over 18,500 independent test cases for Data Access (1.0 & 2.0 & 3.0), Data eXchange (1.0), Alarm & Events (1.0x & 1.1), Historical, Batch (1.0 & 2.0), Security and Common OPC Specifications. Third, it provides means to extend every single test case with a set of 585 scripting functions that any QA Personnel, OPC Developer and end-user may implement and extend with ease.
