Interactive Tests
Interactive tests are the tests that require some form of user interaction and cannot be executed without such interaction. From a design point of view, interactive tests are a subtype of distributed test. As a subtype of distribute test, interactive tests generally execute on the test device under the control of a component called an agent. However, unlike distributed tests, interactive tests also require some form of user interaction as a part of the test. Interactive tests might require that the user change something with a device, which triggers event generation or require the user to verify that a device plays sound or vibrates. But most typically, interactive tests are used to validate user interface on the device.
Like distributed tests, interactive tests validate API functionality while the device is connected to a remote host (the PC or workstation where the harness runs). In this configuration, one part of the distributed test runs on the device and the other part of the test runs on a remote host (the PC or workstation where the harness runs) using a passive agent running on in the same VM as the harness.
Interactive tests are not supported in pure CLDC (without MIDP). FIGURE
