The primary assignment was extending functionality and debugging of the DIBView product. DIBView is an X Window System application running on Sun UNIX workstations which allows editing and creating of schematics for a hardware tester. DIBView is written in C++ with Sun's XView toolkit as the user interface.

Specific tasks completed for DIBView include:

	Designing and implementing an algorithm for analyzing the structure of the schematic and verifying it with a user-supplied test program
	Adding new user interface elements and functionality, maintaining the Help system, and debugging existing code
	Writing a C++ PostScript driver to print statistics on the user's schematic
	Designing and implementing a set of generic popup windows for use by DIBView and other related products; the resulting C++ classes included both ANSI and non-ANSI C interfaces for inclusion by non-C++ applications
	Updating and enhancing the automated testing environment provided via TestMaster, an automated software testing tool under evaluation for use by DIBView and other related products
