Coupling Analysis overview
Coupling Analysis consists of Control Coupling and Data Coupling.
Data Coupling
Data Coupling is defined as “the manner or degree by which one software component influences the execution of another software component" in the Clarification of Structural Coverage Analyzes of Data Coupling and Control Coupling document edited by the Certification Authorities Software Team (CAST). The purpose is 'to provide a measurement and assurance of the correctness of these modules/components’ interactions and dependencies'. Data Coupling is used to verify that all the global variables of the application under test have been consumed in read (also called use) and write (also called def) during the tests.
Set Data Coupling Options
You can set the options for Data Coupling to build your project in HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE.

- 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.
    - Control Coupling
      Control Coupling is defined as “the manner or degree by which one software component influences the execution of another software component" in the Clarification of Structural Coverage Analyzes of Data Coupling and Control Coupling document edited by the Certification Authorities Software Team (CAST). The purpose is 'to provide a measurement and assurance of the correctness of these modules/components’ interactions and dependencies'. Control Coupling is used to verify that all the interactions between modules have been covered by at least one test.
    - Data Coupling
      Data Coupling is defined as “the manner or degree by which one software component influences the execution of another software component" in the Clarification of Structural Coverage Analyzes of Data Coupling and Control Coupling document edited by the Certification Authorities Software Team (CAST). The purpose is 'to provide a measurement and assurance of the correctness of these modules/components’ interactions and dependencies'. Data Coupling is used to verify that all the global variables of the application under test have been consumed in read (also called use) and write (also called def) during the tests.
      - Set Data Coupling Options
        You can set the options for Data Coupling to build your project in HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE.
      - Data Coupling report
        From HCL OneTest™ Embedded V8.2.0, you can get a HTML interactive Data Coupling report as a result to your project build.
      - Customize Data Coupling Report
  - 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 and apply user actions.
- Testing with Studio

Set Data Coupling Options

You can set the options for Data Coupling to build your project in HCL OneTest™ Embedded for Eclipse IDE.

In the Project Explorer, right-click on the project and click Properties, then click C C++ Build > Settings. In the Build Settings tab, under the Coupling menu, select Data Coupling.

From this setting page, you can change the following choice:

Report Template: You can change the template of the report generator. By default, this template is ccreport.template.
Generate raw data in JSON : Select Yes if you want to generate the control coupling raw data in a JSON file, Yes, in compressed mode if you want to compress this file, No if you do not need this JSON file. The name of this file is the same as the name of the HTML report file where .html is replaced by .json.
