The methodology used to produce the CMS Global Calorimeter Trigger (GCT) control and test software is described. An interpreted interface to an object-oriented model of the system has allowed the hardware to be controlled and tested in an intuitive interactive environment. This benefits both firmware and software designers, in terms of productivity, development cycle time, and firmware/software integration.
