Symbolic Constants

VectorCAST version 2018 SP3 has improved the usability of the Symbolic Constants window.> The Symbolic Constants window opens automatically (if the units under test contain enumerations, #defines, or

other symbolic constants) on the right-hand side of the Test Case Editor.

> The Symbolic Constants window remains open as long as there is at least one test case open in the Test Case Editor.

> The user can override the default behavior by clicking the redesigned Symbolic Constants button on the toolbar which now looks like "(X)" .
