What is the CDD extension for EiffelStudio?

The Contract Driven Development (CDD) Extension to EiffelStudio. CDD provides full unit test integration into EiffelStudio. Here are some of its features:

• Automated extraction of test cases from failures
  • For every exception thrown a new test case is created
• Visualization of test cases and their outcomes
• One button creation of manual test cases
• Automated execution of test cases in the background
• Limit visible test cases via predefined filters and custom tags
• Testing occurs in the background and is completely undisruptive for the developer

If you have questions, feedback, or would like to report a bug please visit the [CDD forum]

Stefans Master Plan

• MA Start ca 17.12.2007
• MA End ca 17.6.2008

• Testing the tester
  • System level test for CDD (incl. framework)
  • Recreating existing unit test suite with CDD
  • Large scale validation of CDD
    • Info 4 and/or Software Engineering
    • Questions
      • Does testing (manual/extracted) increase developer productivity?
      • How many tests do ppl end up with (manual/extracted)?
      • ...

Specifications

• CddTreeViewSpec

Things we need from estudio

• Invariants should be checked during debugging equally to pre- and post conditions (they could also be visualised in the flat view the same way like pre- and post conditions are)
• The information whether some call is a creation call or a normal routine call (Not sure if this is really necessary, what if we assume every call to some creation procedure is always a creation call?)
• Support for multiple open targets

Old Documentation

Documentation for the CDD for EiffelStudio 5.7 is available from CddOldDocumentation
