HCL OneTest Embedded
A cross-platform solution for component testing<br> and runtime analysis
HCL OneTest Embedded combines component testing and runtime analysis into a single, integrated developer-centric testing solution.
With a single click from any development environment, you can profile memory and performance, analyze code coverage and visualize program execution behavior.
Automating the creation and deployment of component test harnesses, test stubs, and test drivers is a cinch thanks to HCL OneTest Embedded.
OneTest Embedded allows you to be more proactive in debugging, enabling you to fix your code before it breaks.
Test. Analyze. Resolve.
The best time to find and fix bugs is during development.
HCL OneTest Embedded focuses on developer testing where it easily tests written components and analyzes the reliability and performance of applications as they run on host development systems.
The graphical user interface links run time analysis and code coverage results directly to a source code, enabling code repairs without ever having to leave the tool.

Features
Features
Component testing
Automates creation and deployment of host and target-based component tests. High-level test orientated languages allow sophisticated tests to be easily written.
Memory profiling
Illustrates program’s memory consumption, detects actual and potential memory leaks, buffer under and over runs, misuse of memory after liberation, and many other memory management errors.
Performance and worst-case execution time
Compute the execution time per function directly on target and by providing an estimation of the Worst Case Execution Time simplify the certification.
Code coverage analysis
Identifies which portions of the source code that have not been tested from function call up to MC/DC coverage levels. Helps the developer and tester develop pertinent test cases.
Control coupling analysis
Analyze the dependencies between modules of the application as described in CAST-19 and generate coverage reports with control and data coupling. The certification process is simplified by providing required reports for DO178B/C.

Runtime tracing
Visually illustrates thread execution function calls, and variable values in programs as a function of time via UML sequence diagrams.
Target deployment technology
Provides a versatile, low-overhead technology for enabling target-independent tests and runtime analysis. Allows you to develop tests on a single host and validate on multiple targets. Tests won’t need to change when environments do.
Qualification Kit
Specifications and test suites are available to qualify HCL OneTest Embedded with environments and target devices. It allows qualification against many industry standards.
Reporting
Generation of reports in various formats (XML, HTML, text, etc.). Consolidated reports facilitate the certification process and allow a detailed understanding of the test results.

Benefits
Increases Tester Productivity
Allows a virtual cycle of test generation, execution, review, and then test improvement to rapidly achieve full test coverage. One-click to build, execute on the target, and to generate the report.
Identifies Memory Errors Early
Identifies the source of memory management errors at the testing phase before they occur in production. Pre-empt performance issues and program crashes. Can be adapted to work with custom memory management methods used in embedded software.
Improves Reliability
Provide visibility on thread execution and switching to develop a deep understanding of the behavior of the system under test. Integrates Test Results and Code Coverage data.
Develop Pertinent Test Cases
Avoids delivering code that is executed for the first time by the user or the target system running the application.
Review Program Behavior
The integrated Test Results and Code Coverage data help developers understand the behavior of the system under test. This information can be gathered on-the-fly whilst the system under test is running
