Test Execution Specialist Guide
This guide describes tasks that you can perform to test application code in HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE. This guide is intended for testers or test execution specialists.
- 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 suites
    - Test configurations
    - Running a test
      - Running a test harness
        The test harness contains everything required to run the test.
      - Running a test suite
        Test suites enable you to run multiple test harnesses or test scripts in a single step. You can update the list of test harnesses and test scripts to be run, and the build configuration from the Test Editor before running a test suite.
      - Running test suites from the command line
        You can integrate test suites created with HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE into your command line tool chain.
    - Test scripts files
    - Stubbing functions
  - Application monitoring
    With HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE you can monitor the global variables of cyclic executive applications.
- Testing with Studio

Running a test harness

The test harness contains everything required to run the test.

About this task

The test harness associates the test cases with the source code and other required components to a test configuration. The test configuration is an instance of a target deployment port (TDP) with its association configuration settings.

Procedure

To run a test harness:

In the project explorer, in the Test Harness folder, right-click the test harness and click Run As > Run Test Harness.
Alternatively, you can run a test harness from the test harness editor.
Note: In some environments, if you have installed the product in an existing Eclipse, the test result timestamps and verdicts are not properly displayed in the package explorer. To correct this, in the project explorer, click View Menu > Customize View > Content and ensure that only Working Sets, Elements, CDT Elements, and Resources are selected.

Note: To run multiple test harnesses in a step, you must create a test suite, select the test harnesses that will be run from the test suite and then run the test suite. For more information, see Creating test suites and Running a test suite.

Results

The Test Result folder in the Project Explorer contains the test harness result file. To open the reports, right-click the Test result, select Open with > HTML reports and select the appropriate report.
