Creating a new eweasel test is a very simple procedure which is described below.

Choosing the category

Here are the major categories of test:

• syntax
• incr
• melt
• freeze
• finalize
• exec
• ccomp
• term
• fixed

When creating a new test, choose the most appropriate category and append the incremented value for the last counter value for each category.

Writing the TCF file

Writing the ECF file

Usually its content would look like and for historical reason it has to be called Ace:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><system xmlns="http://www.eiffel.com/developers/xml/configuration-1-0-0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.eiffel.com/developers/xml/configuration-1-0-0 http://www.eiffel.com/developers/xml/configuration-1-0-0.xsd" name="test" uuid="D4B33796-B5BB-4a70-9646-147CE70640E7">
	<target name="test">
		<root cluster="root_cluster" class="test" feature="make"/>
		<option warning="true">
			<assertions precondition="true" postcondition="true" check="true" invariant="true" loop="true" supplier_precondition="true"/>
		<warning name="syntax" enabled="false"/></option>
		<precompile name="precompile" location="$PRECOMPILED_BASE"/>
		$EWEASEL_DOTNET_SETTING
		<library name="base" location="$ISE_LIBRARY\library\base\base.ecf"/>
		<cluster name="root_cluster" location="$CLUSTER\"/>
	</target>
</system>

Writing the Eiffel classes

The classes that make the test.

Writing the output file(s)

They contain the actual output of the program plus Execution completed when we expect a successful run, or Execution failed when we expect a failure.
