How the Test RealTime plugin for Eclipse works

The plugin supports managed and unmanaged C and C++ projects in the Eclipse workbench.

To perform runtime analyse in Eclipse, you engage the runtime analysis tools on a managed or unmanaged C or C++ project. You set the configuration settings for the project or for each source file, run the source code, and view the runtime analysis results in Eclipse.

To perform component testing in Eclipse, you create and edit a C or C++ component test based on your source code. You set the configuration settings for the project or for each source file, run the test, and view the component test results in Eclipse.
