Stub View

In CT 2024.06, if there are no libraries used in the target function when executing a test, if the libraries are not yet developed, or if the variables not declared are used, it creates automatically the stubs instead. The stubs are created when running the test and the body is not implemented.

You can add stubs directly in addition to the stubs created in CT 2024.06. Multiple stubs can be created for the same function and the stubs created can be linked to each test.

You can control the behavior of each stub by using user macro within the stub. The value used in the user-entered macro can be controlled in Edit a test case tab for the test linked.
