Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes tasks that you can perform to test application code in HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE. This guide is intended for testers or test execution specialists.
Testing with Studio
Analyzing running applications
Coupling Analysis overview
Coupling Analysis consists of Control Coupling and Data Coupling.
Overview
Data Coupling is defined as “the manner or degree by which one software component influences the execution of another software component" in the Clarification of Structural Coverage Analyzes of Data Coupling and Control Coupling document edited by the Certification Authorities Software Team (CAST). The purpose is 'to provide a measurement and assurance of the correctness of these modules/components’ interactions and dependencies'. Data Coupling is used to verify that all the global variables of the application under test have been consumed in read (also called use) and write (also called def) during the tests.
Set Data Coupling options
You can set the options for Data Coupling to run the build for your project in HCL OneTest™ Embedded Studio.

    - Coupling Analysis overview
      Coupling Analysis consists of Control Coupling and Data Coupling.
      - Overview
        Control Coupling is defined as “the manner or degree by which one software component influences the execution of another software component" in the Clarification of Structural Coverage Analyzes of Data Coupling and Control Coupling document edited by the Certification Authorities Software Team (CAST). The purpose is 'to provide a measurement and assurance of the correctness of these modules/components’ interactions and dependencies'. Control Coupling is used to verify that all the interactions between modules have been covered by at least one test.
      - Overview
        Data Coupling is defined as “the manner or degree by which one software component influences the execution of another software component" in the Clarification of Structural Coverage Analyzes of Data Coupling and Control Coupling document edited by the Certification Authorities Software Team (CAST).

    - Application Profiling
      Application Profiling is gathering the main features that provide profiling information at the application level: the Worst Stack Size feature and the Worst performance (coming soon) feature.
  - Testing software components
  - Using the graphical user interface
  - Test script languages

Set Data Coupling options

You can set the options for Data Coupling to run the build for your project in HCL OneTest™ Embedded Studio.

Execute a build with Data Coupling

In HCL OneTest™ Embedded Studio, open the Settings of the project and click the Configuration Properties > Build > Build options menu.
In the right panel, click on the Build options and edit the options by clicking on the … button.
In the dialog window that shows up on the right, you can select the different tools that can be used for the build. Select Data Coupling analysis to enable the Data Coupling feature.

Data Coupling options

Options for Data Coupling can be updated in the following menu of the settings: Configuration Properties > Runtime analysis > Data Coupling

From this setting page, you can change the following choice:

Report Template: You can change the template of the report generator. By default, this template is ccreport.template.
