  - 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
      HCL OneTest™ Embedded several types of assets, which each describe different levels of the test environment.
    - Creating test projects
      In HCL® OneTest™ Embedded, projects are similar to C/C++ projects, but contain extra folders and a specific toolchain for component testing and runtime analysis.

        Use the New Test Harness wizard to create new test harnesses. A test harness contains one or several test cases and is required to run the test, it also includes source files under test, stubs, and Target Deployment Port (TDP) configuration settings.
      - Creating test harnesses from the call graph
        The call graph provides a visual diagram that helps you select the functions that require testing in your project. You can use this diagram to create a test harness that contains a test case, stubs, and other test assets required to run the test.
      - Editing test harnesses
        Use the test harness editor to edit test harnesses.

Creating test harnesses

Use the New Test Harness wizard to create new test harnesses. A test harness contains one or several test cases and is required to run the test, it also includes source files under test, stubs, and Target Deployment Port (TDP) configuration settings.

Procedure

To create a test harness from the project explorer:

In the project explorer, right-click the project and click New > Test Harness.
If you select a function, skip to step 3.
The Create Test Case wizard opens.
In the Create Test Harness wizard, select one or several test cases that you want to run together and click Next.
If no test cases exist, you can click New Test Case to create a new one.
On the Test Harness Location page, select the folder and name for the test harness and click Finish.

Results

The test harness is created in the specified folder and opens in the test harness editor.
