Generate Function Call Flow Contents

[Generate Function Call Flow Contents by Test case] feature outputs the functions called during test case execution in both table and tree formats.

1. At the Unit Test View, right-click on tests or test cases and select [Generate Function Call Flow Contents by Test case]. Test and test cases can be multi-selected.
   

2. When [Generate Function Call Flow Contents by Test case] is executed, the [Execute Test Success] window pops up.
   

3. Click the [Open Folder] button in [Execute Test Success] window. The directory containing the function call flow content file is opened.
   

*The output file name is in the format of [type]test name_test case number.csv.

• The file includes name and parameters of the functions. There are two types in displaying function call flow.
  • Table
    • The calling relationship is displayed in two columns.
    • The caller functions are in the first column, and the callee functions are in the second column.
  • Tree
    • The function call information is displayed in multiple columns depending on the call depth.
    • The function call information is displayed on different lines if the call is located at different locations.

• If a same function is called several times, calls are printed in an abbreviated way.
  • The number of calls is indicated by appending [called # times] after the function signature.
  • e.g., If the a function is consecutively called 5 times, [called 5 times] is appended to the first function signature.

• In the project’s [Properties] > [Test] > [Other option], enabling [Hide functions excluded in coverage measurement when generating function call flow] prevents nodes of excluded functions from appearing.

Example

// example code
void callee() { /*doing something*/ }
void callee2() { /*doing something*/ }
void func1() { callee(); callee2(); }
void func2() { callee(); callee(); callee(); }
void caller() { func1(); func2(); }

• Table
  

  caller-function	callee-function
  caller()	func1()
  func1()	callee()
  func1()	callee2()
  caller()	func2()
  func2()	callee() [called 3 times]

• Table with hidden functions excluded in coverage measurement
  • Functions excluded in coverage measurement: func1()
    

    caller-function	callee-function
    caller()	callee()
    caller()	callee2()
    caller()	func2()
    func2()	callee() [called 3 times]

• Tree
  

  caller()	func1()	callee()
  		callee2()
  	func2()	callee() [called 3 times]

• Tree with hidden functions excluded in coverage measurement
  • Functions excluded in coverage measurement: func1()
    

    caller()	callee()
    	callee2()
    	func2()	callee() [called 3 times]

!Constructors, destructors, operators and functions without definition (e.g., system functions) are excluded from the output. Functions called from ternary operators or from try and catch statements may not output properly.
