# Documentation: DTS.Common.Interface Test Definition Interfaces

## 1. Purpose

This module defines a set of interfaces for modeling test definition metadata within the DTS (presumably Data Test System) application. It provides the data contract abstractions for test runs, test setups, modules, channels, and graph configurations. These interfaces serve as the public API for test metadata throughout the system, enabling decoupling between test data storage, processing, and visualization components. The interfaces support property change notification patterns, suggesting use in data-binding scenarios such as UI views.

## 2. Public Interface

### `ITestMetadata`
**Namespace:** `DTS.Common.Interface.TestDefinition`

Container interface aggregating test run and setup metadata.

```csharp
public interface ITestMetadata
{
    ITestRunMetadata TestRun { get; set; }
    ITestSetupMetadata TestSetup { get; set; }
}
```

---

### `ITestRunMetadata`
**Namespace:** `DTS.Common.Interface`

Represents metadata for a test run execution. Implements `INotifyPropertyChanged`.

```csharp
public interface ITestRunMetadata : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    string Id { get; set; }
    string Description { get; set; }
    bool InlineSerializedData { get; set; }
    string TestGuid { get; set; }
    int FaultFlags { get; set; }
    string Software { get; set; }
    string SoftwareVersion { get; set; }
    string DataType { get; set; }
    List<ITestModule> Modules { get; set; }
    List<ITestChannel> Channels { get; set; }
    List<ITestChannel> CalculatedChannels { get; set; }
}
```

---

### `ITestSetupMetadata`
**Namespace:** `DTS.Common.Interface`

Represents configuration metadata for a test setup.

```csharp
public interface ITestSetupMetadata
{
    string Name { get; set; }
    DateTime TestDate { get; set; }
    DateTime TimeStamp { get; set; }
    List<ITestGraphs> TestGraphs { get; set; }
}
```

---

### `ITestSummary`
**Namespace:** `DTS.Common.Interface.TestDefinition`

Represents a summary view of a test. Implements `IBaseClass`.

```csharp
public interface ITestSummary : IBaseClass
{
    string Id { get; set; }
    string Name { get; set; }
    string Description { get; set; }
    int ChannelCount { get; set; }
    DateTime TestDate { get; set; }
    string DataType { get;
