How To...?Depending on the customer specific environment, Testwell CTC++ is used for many different testing scenarios, in several build environments, IDEs and tool chains. In this section, generic instructions are found as well as specific instructions for these kind of third party software.
WorkflowsMeasuring Code Coverage with Testwell CTC++ always works in three independent steps: instrumentation - testing - report generation. Depending on the environment, different ways to use the components of Testwell CTC++ are advantageous. They are described in these chapters.
Test Runs with the Instrumented Program The instrumented program is tested without any change necessary. The coverage data is written out during the execution.
Configuration File Access During Test An instrumented program on host uses the configuration in ctc.ini files.

Configuration File Access During Test

An instrumented program on host uses the configuration in ctc.ini files.

The instrumented program, actually the Testwell CTC++ run-time library part of it, looks for and reads the configuration file(s). This takes place at the time when the program calls for the first time any of the instrumented files (some instrumented function there).

The Testwell CTC++ configuration files are looked from the same locations as the preprocessor ctc looks them. However the instrumented programs does not search for the configuration files based on the -c command-line parameter.
