DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a server;
a computer terminal, coupled remotely to the server via a network, and installed with a web browser for displaying web pages and communicating with said server via the network;
an external test platform, connected externally to said computer terminal, the test platform comprising a programmable target device and interface circuitry operable to communicate between the computer terminal and the target device;
wherein the server hosts a development tool available for download to the web browser via said network, the development tool comprising;
one or more applets to be run by the web browser, and one or more web pages for display by the web browser to provide a user-interface for the development tool including to provide access to said one or more applets; and
wherein the one or more applets at least comprise code-analysis applet software programmed so as when run by the web browser to operate said interface circuitry to load code to be tested from the computer terminal onto the target device for test operation.

Abstract
A system comprising: a server; a computer terminal coupled remotely to the server via a network and installed with a web browser; and an external test platform, connected externally to the computer terminal, the test platform comprising a programmable target device and interface circuitry operable to communicate between the computer terminal and the target device. The server hosts a development tool available for download to the web browser via the network. The development tool comprises: one or more applets to be run by the web browser, and one or more web pages for display by the web browser to provide a user-interface for the development tool including to provide access to the one or more applets. The one or more applets at least comprise code-analysis applet software programmed so as when run by the web browser to operate said interface circuitry to: load code to be tested from the computer terminal onto the target device for test operation.

21. A method of testing code using an external test platform connected to a computer terminal, the test platform comprising interface circuitry and a programmable target device, and the method comprising:
-
downloading a development tool from a server via a network to a web browser installed on the computer terminal, the development tool comprising;
one or more web pages, and one or more applets at least comprising code-analysis applet software for testing code on said programmable target device;providing a user-interface for the development tool by using the web browser to display said one or more web-pages; accessing the one or more applets via said one or more web pages as displayed by the browser; and using the web browser to run the code-analysis applet software and thus operate the interface circuitry of said external test platform to load code to be tested from the computer terminal onto said target device for test operation. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A development-tool product for hosting on a server, the development tool comprising:
-
one or more applets runnable by a web browser of a client terminal, the one or more applets at least comprising code-analysis applet software for testing code using an external test platform comprising a programmable target device and interface circuitry connected to said client terminal, wherein the code-analysis applet software is programmed so as when run by the web browser to operate the interface circuitry of the external test platform to load code to be tested from the client terminal onto said target device for test operation; and one or more web pages for display by the web browser, arranged so as when displayed by the browser to provide a user-interface for the development tool including to provide access to said one or more applets.
