The editor layer extends classes from the common framework layer to provide specific implementations for their models. The extensions must be defined in the protocol-specific plug-ins extending the test editor.

The protocol handler can make a contribution to the details page of the test to protocol-specific test-wide options. If your protocol needs to support data correlation, you can use the class DataCorrelationLabelProvider. The class contains several methods to use with data correlation. Many of the methods deal with display aspects of the data correlation objects.
In data correlation there must be an attribute name assigned to every field or property of a model object that supports data correlation. These names are used for many purposes, one of which is to provide formatted labels for data correlation objects. Because the LoadTest editor creates labels early in a process cycle, these labels may not contain detailed formatting instructions. To overcome this issue, higher level protocol extensions or plug-ins can register LabelFormatters that are called when needed.
