Context-sensitive help in the assessment script
When you write an Script assesslet and use the autocompletion (shortcut Ctrl+Space) to insert functions, you can browse a list of the available TPT functions. A description will be displayed for each of the functions and also an example on how to use the function. You can type a function in the assessment script, for example TPT.getID, place the cursor anywhere in this function and press F1 to open the context-sensitive help system.
Help information inside the 'Script assesslet'
A tooltip appears when you hover with the mouse over transitions or states in any graphical automaton. Tooltips for diagrams are by default deactivated. To activate them, click Options|Show Tooltips.
