2.3 Debugging Methods

You can run a test using either of the following methods:

  • Entering Commands Method
  • Running a Command File Method

Entering commands is the preferred method to run a test with MDB. It allows you to interact with the target application as it executes in simulation or on actual hardware. The result of each command is displayed one at a time, so that mistakes are more easily understood and corrected (see 2.3.1 Entering Commands Method).

The Running a Command File method cannot be used after the MDB has been invoked. The command file is included as a parameter in the command line when invoking the MDB (see 2.4 Running a Command File Method).
