Abstract: In a method for testing device descriptions for field devices of automation technology, a finite state machine is produced from a device description to serve as a basis for a test script. For testing the device description, the test script is executed, with data being sent to and received from the device description. In such case, it is tested whether desired values set in the test script agree with actual values delivered e.g. from the field device.

Abstract: A method for testing device descriptions for field devices of automation technology, which are executed in a frame application running on a computer unit, provides, between the frame application and the device descriptions, a test component, which, on the one hand, is transparent for the communication between the frame application and the device descriptions, and which, on the other hand, tests interface invocations according to a predetermined specification.
