Key Features and Capabilities of RKTracer
User Interface for Generating Unit Tests
The RKTracer UI showcases a hierarchical project layout. The left side displays a list of source files and their respective functions. On the right, users can find detailed information about each function, including parameters, initialization processes, mocking, stubbing, and more.
- Generating test cases for selected functions.
- Creating parameterized test cases for functions or member functions based on user-defined input values, expected outputs, assert checks, or boundary conditions.
- Generating stubs for missing function definitions.
- Testing private, protected, and file static functions without altering the application code.
- Full customization of the auto-generated unit test cases, with the flexibility to run them independently of RKTracer on either the host platform or target device.
How does it work?
- Integration: Integrate RKTracer with your preferred IDE (like IAR Embedded Workbench IDE, Eclipse, Keil μVision, Visual Studio, and more) or command-line build setting. Plug-ins ensure a smooth integration process.
- Configuration: Simply Turn ON RKTracer. The tool recognizes the compiler or cross-compiler and adds the essential runtime libraries, making configuration effortless for host/target testing.
- Generation and Execution: Generate unit tests cases that will/can be integrated into your build system. Execute the tests in your native environment or on an embedded device, independent of RKTracer.
- Code Coverage Reports: With a single click, generate comprehensive code coverage reports for your application, whether on the host or a target machine testing.
The RKTracer isn’t merely a unit testing and code coverage tool; it’s an all-inclusive solution designed to integrate flawlessly into your development environment, offering a plethora of features to streamline and elevate the testing experience.
