On-the-Fly Tracing

System Testing for C

The System Testing for C on-the-fly tracing capability allows you to monitor the Virtual Testers during the test execution in a UML sequence diagram. Information provided by dynamic tracking includes:

  • Beginning and end of scenarios

  • Rendezvous

  • Sent and received messages

  • Inter-tester messages (only received messages)

  • Beginning and end of termination, initialization and exception blocks

  • End of Testers

On-the-fly tracing output is displayed in the UML/SD Viewer in real-time. You can click any item in the sequence diagram to instantly highlight the corresponding test script line in the Text Editor window.

To activate System Testing dynamic tracking:

  1. select On-the-fly tracing in the System Testing Advanced Settings for the System Testing test node

  2. ensure that the Allow remote connections option in selected in the General Preferences.
