Configuring Rational Rhapsody TestConductor to create Unit and Integration tests with C Modules/Files

Answer

1. Start with a simple C project. Two files: FileB and FileC. Each with a single function that outputs a string. In this default configuration you call them from the main file to confirm everything is working correctly.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Right-click on FileB and select 'Create Test Architecture'. At this point you will prompted to add the TestingProfile if you haven't already. Accept this and continue.
   
   
   
3. Right-click TestContext “Tcon_FileB” and select “Create SD Testcase”, then open the newly created TestCase “SD_tc_0()”
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Draw a new message from the TestContext to FileB, open the message's features window and select “FuncB()” in the realization field.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Save the Project. Right-click the Tcon_FileB_Architecture test package and select, in turn:
   Update TestPackage,
   Build TestPackage
   Execute TestPackage.
   
   You should see the test scenario window appear and run the test case. The application will run and briefly show the function output in a command prompt
   
   
   
   
   Note: The test context consists of two items; The test context & FuncB().
   
   
   This is an example of a unit test. Now you must add the other File into this context to run an integrated test.
   
   
   
6. Open the "Structure_of_TCon_FileB" Test Context Diagram under Ppkg_FileB::Tcon_FileB_Architecture::Tcon_FileB.
   Drag the second file, FileC from the browser to the Test Context Diagram.
   In the same diagram, add a <<usage>> dependency from the Tcon_FileB TestContext to the new FileC element.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. Open the test case “SD_tc_0()” and drag FileC to this diagram also.
   
   
   
   
   
8. Draw a message from the TestContext to the FileC instance on the same diagram, it's features window and set the realization field to "FuncC()".
   
   
   
   
   
9. Save the Project. Right-click the Tcon_FileB_Architecture test package and select, in turn:
   Update TestPackage,
   Build TestPackage
   Execute TestPackage.
   
   You should see the test scenario window appear and run the test case. The application will run and briefly show the function output in a command prompt.
   
   
   
   
   Note: This time that the test context consists of three items. The test context, FuncB() and FuncC().
