testIDEA can now verify the correctness of test specifications against the debug information. The following items are verified: existence of functions and global variables, hiding of global variables by local variables, duplicate IDs.
Why is that a nice feature?
It can happen that typos in the test specification e.g. in the function or variable names, wrong number of function parameters or renamed function or variable names in the source code cause invalid test results or even a target crash.
To discover such problems before test execution, iSYSTEM added the new command "Tools / Verify symbols" to testIDEA.
Problems are shown in the Status View. By double clicking the problem line an explanation to the problem is shown in the right (light red) window and the Test Specification Editor view switches to the test specification related to the problem.
