While a mission of System testing of file conversion I was confronted to a dead line nearly unreachable. I had the choice to spend some times for writing an automated tool or to take this same time to manually execute test cases. System test is not easy to perform manually that's the reason why I decide to develop something to parse and help me in file control process. I first implement a VB tool from Ms Excel from where you can easily implement forms and functions. After the mission, I translate this in VB6 executable with Ms Access database. The main scope was to parse a full code file and to report errors. Using my tool, I save a lot of time and I was able to finish the test process on time.

This is the main screen from where user must select the code file version he/she want to parse.
He/she can also paste the file content on the text area or select the file on the tree view.
The second screen list all records found on the file on the first frame and the second frame give a readable view of the selected record. Use can navigate trough the records and get automatically the parse detail.
All controls performed are related to configuration parameters that are put on database and can be easily modified or updated regarding the Coda specifications.
There is a function to allow automatic controls of the records. All records will be scanned and parsed. If any error is found, the report screen will give information about the record number, the expected and observed value.
The report is pintable.
All specifications of Coda file are put on table. All these parameters can be updated, added or modified. User must be prompt that it has a direct impact on the parsing result.
