Remarks

You can create custom diagnostic data adapters to add functionality to the testing framework user interface (UI). Custom diagnostic data adapters must derive from this DataCollector class. For more information, see Creating a Diagnostic Data Adapter to Collect Custom Data or Affect a Test Machine.
