Introduction

AutoTest is a facility within EiffelStudio that helps developers create, manage, and execute software tests.

This documentation is intended to describe the AutoTest interface and capabilities. In addition to this material, you will find a tutorial entitled Using AutoTest in EiffelStudio: A Guided Tour. The tutorial employs a simple example that is used to work step-by-step through AutoTest's different facilities. The tutorial also explains testing basics and recommendations for using AutoTest.

Note: The following few pages contain the AutoTest tutorial. This tutorial uses a different software example than the bulk of the EiffelStudio Guided Tour. If this is your first time through, you may want to delay the AutoTest tutorial until you have completed the rest of the Guided Tour, then come back to it when you're feeling more familiar with EiffelStudio.

{{note| To users of V6.6 and later: As of V6.6, the New Eiffel test wizard panes have changed somewhat from this documentation. V6.6 introduces the ability to store certain preferred values for creating tests.
