Component testing provides a unique, fully automated, and proven solution for applications written in C/C ++, dramatically increasing test productivity.
Running a test
Tests linked to requirements
With HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded), you can link a test case and a test harness to one or several requirements that come from another tool to create a traceability matrix between requirements and test results.
Opening a requirement traceability matrix report
When you execute a test suite, a requirement traceability matrix report (HTML format) is automatically generated. You can open the report from the test suite results in the project explorer.

Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes tasks that you can perform to test application code in HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE. This guide is intended for testers or test execution specialists.
- Testing with DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE
  Read these topics to learn how to use the product.
  - Getting started with DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE
    HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE) is designed to integrate into your existing Eclipse-based tool chain. Use this section as a guide to a typical workflow for testing and evaluating your C source code in the Eclipse CDT environment.
  - Importing C projects
    You can either create a new C project with the Eclipse CDT tools or you can import your existing C source files or Eclipse projects into your HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded) workspace.
  - Importing DevOps Test Embedded examples
    Test Embedded is provided with several sample projects to help you get started.
  - Analyzing source code
  - Coupling Analysis overview
    Coupling Analysis consists of Control Coupling and Data Coupling.
  - 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
    Component testing provides a unique, fully automated, and proven solution for applications written in C/C ++, dramatically increasing test productivity.
    - Test assets overview
      HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded) several types of assets, which each describe different levels of the test environment.
    - Creating test projects
      In HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded), projects are similar to C/C++ projects, but contain extra folders and a specific toolchain for component testing and runtime analysis.
    - Test cases
      The main objective of a test case is to define the variable checks that will compare the values obtained during the run with the expected values defined in the test case.
    - Test harness structure
      Test harnesses contains all the information required to compile and run a test. This includes, test cases, source files under test, stubs, and Target Deployment Port (TDP) configuration settings.
    - Creating test configurations
      Test configurations contain the settings required to apply a target deployment port (TDP) to your compiler, linker, debugger, and target deployment.
    - Test suite
      A test suite contains multiple test harnesses that are run sequentially to provide global results for a project. When you create a test suite, you select the test harnesses that will be used in the test suite run. You can also select test scripts that can be run from a test suite.
    - Running a test
      - Running a test harness
        The test harness contains everything required to run the test.
      - Running a test suite
        Test suites enable you to run multiple test harnesses or test scripts in a single step. You can update the list of test harnesses and test scripts to be run, and the build configuration from the Test Editor before running a test suite.
      - Running test suites from the command line
        You can integrate test suites created with HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE) into your command line tool chain.
      - Starting a test from the command line
        You can run tests suites or a test harness by using the command-line interface of eclipse. The command line supports a set of options. You can enter -help in the command line to view all the supported options.
      - Testing with PTU test scripts
        You can add and configure PTU test scripts and execute them in a standalone mode or from a test suite in HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE).
      - Stubbing overview
        Stubs are simulations of actual functions, which can be used to isolate the function under test and to check that calls to the stubbed function are correctly formulated.
      - Tests linked to requirements
        With HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded), you can link a test case and a test harness to one or several requirements that come from another tool to create a traceability matrix between requirements and test results.
        Importing requirement files
        To link test cases or test harnesses to the requirements in HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded), you must first import requirements that come from other tools to be able to link.
        Linking tests to requirements
        In HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded), you can link a test case and a test harness to one or several requirements to create a traceability matrix between requirements and test results.
        Opening a requirement traceability matrix report
        When you execute a test suite, a requirement traceability matrix report (HTML format) is automatically generated. You can open the report from the test suite results in the project explorer.
  - Application monitoring
    With HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE) you can monitor the global variables of cyclic executive applications and apply user actions.
- DevOps Test Embedded Studio Overview
  HCL DevOps Test Embedded Studio (Test Embedded Studio) is the classic user interface that supports C, C++, Ada test and analysis tools.

Opening a requirement traceability matrix report

When you execute a test suite, a requirement traceability matrix report (HTML format) is automatically generated. You can open the report from the test suite results in the project explorer.

Before you begin

You must have finished test suite run.

About this task

When you run a test suite, a requirement traceability matrix report (in HTML format) is automatically generated.

To open the requirement traceability matrix report, follow these steps:

Procedure

In the project explorer, click Test > Test Suite Results.
Right-click the .HTML results file that was generated and select the Open With > HTML Reports > Requirement Report menu.

Results

A browser opens with the requirement traceability matrix report.
