- Testing with HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE
  Read these topics to learn how to use the product.
  - 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
  - Application monitoring
    With HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE you can monitor the global variables of cyclic executive applications.
    - Prerequisites to monitoring applications
      Before you can monitor a cyclic executive application, you must import your project to HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE, configure HCL OneTest Embedded for Eclipse IDE and your application, and build your project.
    - Monitoring a cyclic executive application
      With HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE, you can monitor a cyclic executive application that is running on a target computer and connected to HCL OneTest Embedded for Eclipse IDE.

Application monitoring

With HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE you can monitor the global variables of cyclic executive applications.

The monitoring feature is available from HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE 8.3.1. It applies to cyclic executive applications for software integration testing. A cyclic application is a long running program. It contains global variables that read input data and set output data. With HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE monitoring feature, you can examine the global variables usage while your application is running.

Monitoring cyclic executive applications is an alternative to unit testing and software integration testing where only one file of the application is tested (unit testing) or a collection of files is tested (software integration testing), the other files are stubbed. With HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE monitoring feature, you can test all the files of your application. You can manually modify the input global variables in the monitoring view and select the output variables that HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE displays in a graph so that you can observe the behavior of the application when the input values change.

To be able to monitor your application with HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE, you must complete prerequisites tasks. See Prerequisites to monitoring applications.
