Que 24: Is the code generated (cycle, suite, step tables) from one engine portable to other engines ?
Ans: The intention is “Yes”. All SAFS Engines should be able to interpret and parse the same test tables. One area of concern is that the new target engine needs to support all the keywords that exist in the test being ported. Presently, not all the available engines support all the known keywords. If the new engine does not support all the keywords used in your test, then those unsupported keywords will issue “UNIMPLEMENTED COMMAND” errors. The support for missing keywords will need to be added to the new engine to have complete portability.
