In TPT tests are modelled graphically with the aid of special state machines and time partitioning.
All test cases for one system under test can be modelled using one hybrid automaton.
Tests often consist of a sequence of logical phases.
The states of the finite-state machine represent the logical passes of a test which are similar for all tests.
Trigger conditions model the transitions between the test phases.
Each state and transition of the automaton may have different variants.
The combination of the variants model the individual test cases.

Natural language texts become part of the graphics, supporting the simple and demonstrative readability even for non-programmers.
Substantial techniques such as parallel and hierarchical branching state machines, conditional branching, reactivity, signal description, measured signals as well as lists of simple test steps allow an intuitive and graphic modelling even of complex test cases.

The test's complexity is hidden behind graphics.
The lowest level signal description consists of either test step lists or so called direct definitions.
