5.3 What is a Test Sequence?

A test sequence is a set of test cases, unit or functional (not both) targeted on a single or set of c files. A test sequence is written in the form of an Excel sheet listing the following:

  • Global Declarations
  • Global Code
  • Function tested in each test case
  • Input parameters for each test case
  • Pass or fail criteria for each test case
  • Variable declarations, startup code and cleanup code for each test case

In addition, to the traceability report generation, the following artifacts are also added for each test case:

  • Test case ID
  • Requirements covered by the test case

Each test sequence is converted to a TCF file, which is the actual input to LDRA unit. Figure 1 shows an example of a test case in the test sequence. Click here to see how to add your own test cases.

Each test case executes in the following sequence:

  • Runs any initialization code
  • Configures I/O variables
  • Invokes a single function with specified arguments
  • Captures any return values that are to be checked
  • Captures the value of any I/O variables, ... that are to be checked
  • Runs any custom checks, such as checking execution time
  • Saves the results
  • Runs any cleanup code
