Understanding Projects
Test RealTime - User Guide
The project is your main work area in Test RealTime.
A project is materialized as a directory in your file system, which contains everything
you need to test and analyze your code:
·
Source code
·
Test scripts
·
Analysis and test result files
In the Test RealTime GUI, a project is organized as follows
·
Project
node: this node contains any of the following nodes:
·
Group
node: Allows you to group together several application or test nodes.
·
Application node: contains a complete application.
·
Results node: contains your runtime analysis result files, once the application
has been executed. Use this node to control the result files in Rational ClearCase
or any other configuration management system.
·
Source node: these are the actual source files under test. They can be
instrumented or not instrumented .
·
Test node: represents a complete test harness, for Component Testing for C and
Ada
, C++
, Java
or System Testing
. A test node containing.
·
Results node: contains your test result files, once the test has been executed. Use
this node to control the result files in Rational ClearCase or any other
configuration management system.
·
Test Script node: contains the test driver script for the current test.
·
Source node: these are the actual source files under test. They can be
instrumented or not instrumented .
·
External Command node: this node allows you to execute a command line
anywhere in the project. Use this to launch applications or to communicate with
the application under test.
Application and test nodes can be moved around the project to change the order in
which they are executed. The order of files inside a Test node cannot be changed; for
example the test script must be executed before the source under test.
Sub-Projects
Projects can contain one or more sub-projects which are actually links to other project
directories. The behaviour of a sub-project is the same as a project. In fact, a sub-
project can be opened separately as a stand-alone project.
