Abstract :
A test harness is a system for testing the reliability of electronic CAD systems (ECADS). Modern ECADS´s utilize a framework component for basic services. Since frameworks were originally applied to ECADS´s, little is known about the framework requirements for supporting a test harness. Previous work shows that the framework´s design data manager can be used. We conclude here that a design flow manager, with slight adaptations, can be used as well. We provide a motivated list of flow requirements, give insight into good and bad features and discuss implementation aspects
