Abstract
Specimen programs (S1) of a specimen object (1) can be tested by means of an observation tool (2), and the duration of program routines registered and evaluated. In order to achieve a better testing depth, the observation tool (2) is additionally supplied with at least one measurement and/or process signal from at least one simulated process (P') from a real time simulator (4) or from a process (P) of a plant (3). At least one signal is transmitted from the simulated process (P') to the observation tool (2), it being possible for this signal to be generated by the process (P) or (P'), and said signal triggering a test by the observation tool (2).
