Test configuration editor¶

The test configuration editor allows to create and to modify test configuration files (.tcf files). Many tools need specific files, which describe the test objects. ecu.test can read some of these data types and displays their contents in the action window, based on which the user can create test cases.

Supported file formats

The following table shows the file formats that can be used by ecu.test within test configurations.
