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.
Prerequisites to monitoring applications
Before you can monitor a cyclic executive application, you must import your project to HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE), configure Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE and your application, and build your project.
Importing a monitoring project example
A sample project is provided with HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded) to help you get started with monitoring.

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.
  - 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.
    - Prerequisites to monitoring applications
      Before you can monitor a cyclic executive application, you must import your project to HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE), configure Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE and your application, and build your project.
      - Importing a monitoring project example
        A sample project is provided with HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded) to help you get started with monitoring.
      - Enabling monitoring in your application
        You must enter a dedicated pragma command in the main loop of your application that is cyclically called to enable the monitoring requests between HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE) and the target application.
      - Configuring the build and the monitoring settings
        To monitor your cyclic executive application with HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded), you must enable the compilation and monitoring build settings and configure some parameters related to the communication and libraries that are used to monitor your application.
      - Building a project for monitoring
        After you configure HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE) and your application, you must clean and build your project to instrument the source code of the application with the new configuration settings.
    - Recording a monitoring script
      With HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE), you can monitor a cyclic executive application that is running on a target computer and connected to Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE. You can apply user actions while you monitor the application and see the results in a dynamic graph.
    - Modifying the recorded data in a monitoring script
      You can modify the user actions and the input values that are recorded in a monitoring script and that persist as the default values in the script. When you run the updated monitoring script, the new input values and user actions are used as reference data to monitor the application.
    - Monitoring script files: Edits and updates
      When you monitor an application in HCL DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded), multiple files are created. You can find important information about each file, its use, its format and the parameters that you can use to update the editable files.
    - Test automation commands for running monitoring scripts and creating reports
      You can run automatic monitoring scripts with commands by using a .jar file that contains libraries. You must set several parameters to run a monitoring script and generate a report.
    - HTML monitoring reports
      When you run a monitoring script while running your application, all events are recorded in an HTML report, which automatically opens when the script is complete. The .HTML report file is saved in the Project Explorer view.
- 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.
