WinCC OA CtrlppCheck is a set of tools for static code analysis for SIMATIC WinCC OA's scripting language Ctrl and Ctrl++.
It supports all versions of WinCC OA and is optimized for versions 3.19 and higher.
They are easy to use and integrate perfectly with WinCC OA's script editor GEDI but may also be used in an CI toolchain for automated pull request builds etc.

For the Ctrl language definition the tool depends on an installed WinCC OA version. Released major versions of WinCC OA are marked in our source code history using tags with syntax WinCC_OA_X_Y, e.g. WinCC_OA_3_19.

There is only one right way to test the product. Provide new automatic tests and check your quality. Automated tests perform the same steps precisely every time they are executed and never forget to record detailed results. Testers freed from repetitive manual tests have more time to create new automated software tests and deal with complex features.
To execute WinCC OA tests start the script executeTests.cmd from command line. This script will prepare everything necessary to execute the test, executes the tests and convert the result to jUnit.
Best practice is to start the tests before you provide the change. Everting shall be fine and you shall see something like this
WCCOActrl (0), 2023.10.15 19:02:21.700, CTRL, INFO, 6/jUnit, Over all summary:
Failed : 0
Aborted : 0
Passed : 79
Skipped : 0
KnownBugs : 0
Instable : 0
Provide your new tests, which simulate the bug or test the feature.
Start tests again. When the tests are OK, commit your changes and provide pull request. Test OK means, there are only Passed test cases. In worst case a known-bug might be accepted. Please be sure the bug has been linked correctly to an existing Issue
More information can you fine in Contributor documentation
Happy testing.
