EasyInsert

ecu.test offers a context-sensitive function for quick insertion of elements. It is available in the test case, project and trace analysis editor and lists only elements, whose insertion is permitted at the current position. Via a search field you can search for elements using one or more search words separated by spaces. Artifacts from Library workspaces will also be found and can be inserted directly.

Info

The search is performed across all characteristics of an element. For example, in the case of a bus element, the system searches in the names of SUT, ECU, Frame, PDU and Signal and, if a number is entered, also in the Frame ID. If several search words are entered, all of them must occur in the result, but it does not matter in which characteristic they occur. A search word does not have to be complete, nor does it have to be at the beginning of a word.

  • Project editor
