Miniscope is a protocol decoder integrated with Test Executive. Protocol messages that are exchanged during a test case execution are logged in Miniscope
real-time. Users can click on any message in Test Executive and view the decode of that message in Miniscope. As the Test Executive allows users to save the
current Test Results and to load previously saved results, users can view the protocol decode of the messages offline also.
Test cases are implemented using Tcl language. Polaris delivers the test cases in source code form to allow the users to view, edit, modify or enhance the test
cases.
