Plugins tab of the Environment Options dialog
This tab allows browsing of installed Turbo Tester tool plugins. Plugins simply add user interfaces to the comman-line tools, packaged with Turbo Tester. Plugins can also include the functionality of a tool programmed directly into it, but mostly they only provide dialog boxes for setting parameters.
Plugins are available on
Windows-based installation only. UNIX-based systems do not use this kind of
tool interfacing yet.
