	Shows success, Failure, error and total of test case.
	Selects the coverage type to be displayed in the [Unit Test] view. (statement, branch, MC/DC, function call)
	Shows the selected kind of full coverage.

Search

In the Unit Test view, you can search functions, tests and test cases by file, function, test, status (success, failure, error) and issue name.

Status search keyword

Keyword	Description
%TEST_SUCCESS%	Test success
%TEST_FAILURE% %TEST_ERROR%	Test failure/error
%TEST_FAILURE%	Test failure
%TEST_ERROR%	Test error
%TEST_HAS_NOT_FUNCTION%	Function changed
%TEST_NOT_GUARANTEE%	Run not guaranteed
%TEST_RESULT_DIFFERENT%	Host/Target result different

*‘Run not guaranteed’ is a case where test code is generated, but there is no guarantee that it will run normally. This is the case when using a type that is difficult to specify as a parameter or return value.

Structure of the Unit Test view

The Unit Test view presents the hierarchy structure of [Function]-[Test]-[Test case]. If there are more than 100 test cases in a test, they are grouped in groups of 100 to represent a group.

• Rule for exporting test data
  When you try to export test data, if the test data for the same test as the test exported before exist in the export location, it creates the test data by numbering the file automatically.
  The numbering convention is “test name_#No.”.
  Ex) test_1_test0.csv, test_1_test0_0.csv, test_1_test1.csv ……

• Rule for importing test data
  When importing the test data, if you select multiple test data numbered with the test name, it imports those files by merging them.

Import test data

You can import the test data in various formats (csv, xlsx, txt, json).

1. In the context menu of Unit Test view, click [Import Test Data] and select either [Basic format data] or [External format data].
2. If you select [Basic format data], the test data with the format exported from the CT is imported.
3. If you select [External format data], the test data is imported from the files in various formats (csv, xlsx, txt, json).

Generate test cases automatically

It creates a test case by using Flat/Pairwise/Random combination, Generates with Function Generator, and Search-based Test case Generation (CS Labs).

1. In the context menu of Unit Test or Integration test view, click [Generate test cases automatically] and select one among [Flat Combination], [Pairwise Combination], [Random Combination], [Generate with Function Generator] and [Search-based Test case Generation (CS Labs)].

Method	Description
FLAT	Combines simply based on variables having the largest number of test data.
PAIR WISE	Combines so that each selected parameter data is paired at least once with the parameter data other than itself. ※ The number of variable partitions must be more than 2 and less than 52
RANDOM	Combines the test data as many as the number of test cases that the user defines any value between the minimum value and the maximum value for the variable partition of input parameters.
Generate with Function Generator	Creates a test case by using six function types. (Ramps, Random, Range, Sine, Toggle, and Single Value)
Search-based Test case Generation (CS Labs)	Creates a test case by using AVM, which is a local search algorithm. ※ Currently, only C language supported

2. If you select [Random combination], the Random combination window is displayed so that the user can enter the number of test cases.

3. If you select [Generate with Function generator], you can select the function type (Ramps, Sine, Random, Toggle, Range, Single value and None) and change the settings of the function selected via the settings of the function generator. In [Project property settings], the function generator information can be set.

Common settings

You can change the value in [Project] -> [Properties] with the setting value common to each function. In [Project property settings], the function generator information can be set.

Setting	Description
