About Your First Project

This chapter discusses how to create a test application with one program using the Application Wizard in ATEasy. After creating the application, you will learn how to create tests in the program and then how to build, run and debug the application. We will also add a user interface to the application. This lets the user control the test application using the Test Executive driver supplied with ATEasy.
