mVision as an automated test tool

Hi,
I want to use mVision as an automated test tool that should be able to validate the target system. I believe that the predefined test cases should comprise signal functions which run at the background of the target system.
I could use a little help on the following queries:
1. Could the test cases be part of the INI file declared at the Simulation options of the project?
2. Can I start running the target system as well as the execution of the above test cases from the command line?
3. Do I have the option to invoke a script (INI file) from the command line or a script parameter?
4. Is able a signal function to be retrieved from another signal function (inside the INI file)?
5. Is there any size limitation concerning the INI file?

Thanks in advance!

    That's not really what it's designed for.

    "I believe that the predefined test cases should comprise signal functions which run at the background of the target system."

    No!
    Signal Functions do not run in the target at all!
    Signal Functions are purely within uVision itself.

    "1. Could the test cases be part of the INI file declared at the Simulation options of the project?"

    Yes.
    But are you using the Simulator, or testing a real Target?

    "2. Can I start running the target system as well as the execution of the above test cases from the command line?"

    I think so - check the "Command Line" section of the uVision Manual
