Moving from CATT to eCATT
This section is aimed at users who are familiar with CATT or who need to use existing CATT scripts in the new eCATT test environment.
CATT will continue to be supported and maintained. However, there will be no new development.
The distinction made in CATT between test procedure and test module does not exist in eCATT. Both procedures and modules are represented in eCATT by test scripts.
Using CATT Test Scripts in eCATT
You can use CATT scripts in eCATT. For this, use one of the following:
Migration can be done automatically. Manual rework will rarely be required.

Most CATT functions have an equivalent eCATT command of the same name. The following table shows the CATT functions for which the eCATT commands have different names.

In CATT, CHETAB, SETVAR (table), and SETTAB required specification of the complete key. In eCATT, this is not the case for the equivalent eCATT commands.
In CATT, the DO loop was limited to 999 passes. In eCATT, the number of passes can be a variable, and the limit is 9999.
