Creating test suites
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.

  - Getting started with HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE
    HCL OneTest™ 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 OneTest™ Embedded workspace.
  - Importing HCL OneTest™ Embedded examples
    HCL OneTest™ 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 overview
      Component testing provides a unique, fully automated, and proven solution for applications written in C/C ++, dramatically increasing test productivity.
    - Test assets overview

Creating test suites

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.

About this task

In the test suite, each test harness is associated with a test configuration (a TDP with associated configuration settings). In the test suite editor , you select the main test configuration, that is an instance of a target deployment port (TDP) and its associated configuration settings and usually carries the name of the TDP. A test harness can optionally be run a second time with another test configuration to provide comparison results. This can be useful for certification purposes or to compare the results of a test on two different hardware platforms.

From HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE v8.3.0, the Test Suite Content wizard automatically displays all the files that are available in your project and that can be run with the selected test harnesses: main test configuration files for test harnesses, .ptu files for PTU test scripts, .otd files for OTD test scripts, .bat files for Windows scripts, .pl files for Perl scripts, .py files for Python scripts (.py files), or .shell for Linux scripts.

Procedure

To create a test suite:

In the project explorer, right-click the project and select New > Test Suite.
In the Create Test Suite wizard, select the test harnesses that you want to run together and the test scripts located in your project. Then, click Next.
Select the main test configuration files for the test harnesses that are compatible with your test suite.
If you want to compare the test results with another test configuration, select Compare with and choose a secondary test configuration.
This will run the test suite twice, using both the main configuration and the secondary configuration. You can use this option to run the same test suite on a native platform and an embedded platform, to ensure that results are consistent.
Click Next.
Specify a location and file name for the test suite, and click Finish.

Results

The test suite is created in the selected location in the project, under the test suite folder in the Project Explorer.
