Hello,


I am looking for a tool to process torough UNIT and COVERAGE testing over 60 and
more functions of a "critical" embedded application written in C.

I found IPL's Cantata++ but we don't seem to really need all the power of this
software. I think some other tool out there could provide me with the basic
testing I want with less expense. Ease of use (ie. time) is important.

Any advices ?

There are a number of unit testing frameworks made for C, but none is
particularly *** . Here are some links:

Alternatively, you can often use a C++ unit test framework and link it
together with your C source files. This may not be applicable in your
situation, but if it is, consider some of these:

If you're using gcc, gcov allows you to analyze test coverage.

Unit testing in C basically just means writing unit tests, there is very
little framework code required. Finding the code covered by the testing
can be done using gcc and the "-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage" options.
For instance see Vstr for scripts to help with doing this and generating
the reports...
