In the partnership between design and test, it can often be difficult to exchange the specifics required for test execution because the environments are so different. This communication gets further complicated by the stil generation and pattern conversion process as vector positions can stray further from the source. Pattern tags is a new feature introduced in IG-XL 10.50 which allow for specific vectors to be annotated and these annotations can then be retrieved programmatically during validation and runtime.

This presentation will describe this new feature and review the new API’s that retrieve and interact with pattern tags. It will also review validation and execution performance data and discuss some common use cases for pattern tags.
