Test Mode

Description

Connection

Determines if the devices are connected to the system you are testing and verifies that they are accessible. Device functionality is not verified. However, you can safely run connection mode tests while the system is offline.

Functional

Tests fully exercise all aspects of the device through the associated device drivers. These tests use a significant portion of the system resources and assume that the device is available for testing. For this reason, the system must be offline with no other users or application running. This mode is sometimes referred to as Offline mode.
