Test suite: Features checking

  1. Checking "Live threads only" combobox
    1. Run ProfilingDemo sample project and press Thread Map button
      {{{1}}}
    2. Wait thread 2 and 3 finish
    3. Select "Live threads only" in Show combobox
      Result: Thread 2 and 3 have to disappear. Only Thread 1 should be visible on thread map view

    5. Select "All threads in Show combobox
      Result: All threads should be visible again.
  2. Zoom in, Zoom out, Scale to Fit.
    1. Run ProfilingDemo sample project and press Thread Map button
      {{{1}}}
    2. While running of the program press Zoom in, Zoom out, Scale to Fit buttons to check their work.

Test suite: ACE

Purpose: Using big project ACE for testing
Preparation :
Download ACE from http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/previous_versions/ACE-5.7.1.tar.bz2

Extract files from archive.
Change directory to ACE_wrappers

#mkdir obj
#cd obj
#../configure CFLAGS="-g3 -gdwarf-2" CXXFLAGS="-g3 -gdwarf-2"

Start IDE
Create project from existing code
-- select obj folder
-- custom configuration
-- remove "|test" from Ignore Folders Pattern
make+configure code assistance will take about 25-40 minutes.
Set Profiler->Data Profiler as DTrace and check Thread Microstates checkbox

  1. CPU time counting
    1. Open project properties for ACE and set Build->Make->Build Result as ../ACE_wrappers/obj/examples/Misc/test_profile_timer
    2. Run {{{1}}}
    3. Compare output times with indicator's time
    4. Compare output times with hot spots
    5. Compare output times with thread map
  2. Thread usage
    1. Open project properties for ACE and set Build->Make->Build Result as ../ACE_wrappers/obj/examples/Threads/thread_pool and Run->Arguments to some natural number
    2. Run project and verify number of created threads at indicator and in thread details view
  3. test
    1. TBD
