	Test Engine/2 		          					1995-03-08


	Test Engine/2 is a programming tool designed for high level 
	debugging and for function, module and integration testing 
	for C/C++ and REXX/VX-REXX programs.

	Test Engine/2 has been fully tested and used in production 
	environments by our	clients over the past 2 years for ISO 9000 
	conformant testing for Quality Assurance (Also FDA standards).
	
	It permits you to locate functional and logical bugs quickly 
	and efficiently. This allows you to reserve the time consuming 
	use of a debugger for tracking down complex problems such as 
	access violations, stack overflows etc..

	The function and MACRO API for Test Engine/2 are included in 
	TSTNGEN.NDX which makes them available to the on-line help for 
	editors such as epm, Source Link etc. that support on-line 
	programming help.

	Tracing of messages is configurable from both the Test Engine/2 
	program interface and through the API. There are several 
	possible modes of operation for test tracing. 

		1. Each thread of a process can be registered 
		   independently with Test Engine/2 with a unique name 
		   that is meaningful to the programmer and can have its 
		   own trace file.

		2. Each thread of a process can be registered 
		   independently with Test Engine/2 with a unique name 
		   that is meaningful to the programmer and a trace file 
		   can be opened for the process.

		3. Traces can be sent using the API functions and/or 
		   Macros without registering any threads. In this case 
		   the destination of the traces is determined from 
		   within Test Engine/2 by setting the default trace 
		   file and enabling the global trace on/off menu item.

		4. A mix of the above tracing modes may be used, some 
		   threads being registered with trace files, others 
		   registered with no file and some that are not registered 
		   at all.

	Message formats are fully configurable and you can trace
	
		1. The PID of the tracing process
		2. The TID of the tracing thread
		3. The date and time the trace was sent 
		   (to 100th of a second)
		4. Any message containing data from the program formatted 
		   with printf style flags
		
	Test Engine/2 is delivered as a multi-lingual product and can 
	be started in any of installed languages. The language can 
	also be dynamically changed on-line. 

	The following languages are initially supplied:

		o English
		o French
		o German

	The package also includes a set of utility DLLs:

		o RAW mode printing in C/C++ and REXX
		o PASCAL style textfile access
		
	and programs:
	
		o An IPF pre-compiler
		o A dir tree deletion utility
	
	Test Engine/2 will be integrated into Quality Assurance Manager/2;
	our client/server software quality assurance management tool. 

	A Demo version is available on the OS/2 Vendors A forum library 1 
	(Other Vendors) which allows you to purchase Test Engine/2 
	through CompuServe shareware registration (SWREG #5027).

	This demo version has the following limits:
		
		o 25 registered threads (256 in registered version)
		o 4 registered processes (25 in registered version)
		o 2 spawned child sessions (25 in registered version)
		o Settings cannot be saved from one session to another
		o Startup and shutdown "nag" dialog
		o No possibility of changing the monitor window font
		o No utilities (EXE or DLL)
			
	Otherwise the product is fully functional.

	The cost of a registered license is $200.00 the full product 
	will be sent to you via CIS mail.
