Abstract: Device and method for testing automation applications in a manner that improves the testing of the automation application, wherein data of an automation language for a test environment is processed, where the test environment includes a test environment for the actual system of the automation application and/or for at least one simulation of the automation application, and where at least one test of the test environment is performed such that. It is that the improved testing advantageous enables a safer automation solution.

Abstract: An electric connection assembly for surface mounting on a circuit board comprises a soldering pin. The soldering pin has a starting portion disposed in a housing of the electric connection assembly, a middle portion, and an end portion disposed at an end of the soldering pin opposite the starting portion and contacting the circuit board. The middle portion is bent from the starting portion in a direction toward the housing and the end portion is bent from the middle portion in a direction away from the housing. An acute angle is formed between both the starting portion and the middle portion and between the middle portion and the end portion.
