How You Can Test Frames
You can test a frame in any of the following ways:
• In the Frame Editor, run the current frame by clicking Debug, Go on the Frame Editor's floating menu bar.
OpenROAD Workbench runs the current frame and any frames or procedures that this frame calls.
• Run the current application from the Develop tab’s Applications portlet by clicking Run, Run, and test all of its frames.
This method helps ensure that the current frame receives any parameters it needs from the frame that calls it.
To stop the current application at any point, click the Stop toolbar icon or click Run, Stop. You can also press the Pause/Break key to halt code execution. For more information, see “Using the SK_BREAK Key to Stop Code Execution” in the Programming Guide.
• Compile the frame in the Frame Editor without running the application.
To compile the frame, click Tools, Compile.
• Debug the frame.
OpenROAD provides a Debugger for a closer inspection of your frame execution process. For more information about how to use the Debugger, see the chapter “Debugging Your Application” in the Programming Guide.
• Simulate a runtime form.
In the Frame Editor, click Tools, Simulate to view a form without executing any scripts.
For more information about three of these frame testing methods, see
Compile a Frame.
