I understand that Test Conductor autogenerates a 'Test Context' which contains the SUT and the objects that interact with it.
If the SUT also interacts with a singleton, how can this be added to the Test Context?
You can't just add the singleton object to the Text Context Diagram because the singleton obviously has a private constructor.
Anyone know how to do this?

Hi,

we solved this problem by using a pointer to the singleton class.
For this we put the sigleton class on the context diagram, changed it to an object and changed a property to "scalar" (at the moment I can't remember the property name, something about object or class type. But next week I can tell you the exact name).
In the constructor of the TestContext you must initialize/set this pointer and then you may use the instance in your Sequence-diagrams.

/*============================================
Update 20.1.2010:

The following Properties habe to be set for the SUT object:
• CG::Implementation = Scalar
• CG::CreateComponentGenerate = off
• CG::DeleteComponentGenerate = off

Is this equivalent to the section in the RTC_User_Guide called, "Using Objects" where the stereotype <<instantiated>> is automatically added to the association and they talk about construction/initialization and Init().

Do you draw the singleton class inside or outside the TestContext box?

Hi shanz,

we do it like Roy has described it: put an object of the singleton class to the testcontext and instantiate it dynamically by setting some properties. Attached a small sample model.
