- 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
    - 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.
    - Test cases
    - Test harnesses
      - Test harness structure
        Test harnesses contains all the information required to compile and run a test. This includes, test cases, source files under test, stubs, and Target Deployment Port (TDP) configuration settings.
      - 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.
      - 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.
    - Test suites
    - Test configurations
    - Running a test
    - Test scripts files
    - Stubbing functions
  - Application monitoring
    With HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE you can monitor the global variables of cyclic executive applications.

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.

Procedure

In the project explorer, right-click the project, source file, or a function, and click Open Call Graph.
The call graph displays a diagram representing the function calls in the selected component.
In the call graph toolbar, click Create Test Harness .
This opens the Test Creation Activity view, which details the steps to create the test harness.
Under Test Asset Selection, select a function to test and click Next.
You can take advantage of the call graph display to locate the functions that are critical to your application.
If some functions require stubbing, under Stub Selection, select a function to simulate, and click Next. If the test does not require stubs, click Next.
See Stubbing overview for more information about stubs.
Under Test Case Creation, select a folder or create a new one, type a file name for the test case, and click Next.
Under Test Harness Creation, select a folder or create a new one, type a file name for the test harness, and click Finish.
The test harness contains one or several test cases and is necessary to run the test.

Results

The test cases, stubs, and test harness are generated in the project explorer and the test harness editor opens. Editing test harnesses for information about the test harness editor.
