Hello there,

I have just taken a look at Ecplise for the first time and am also developing in C for the first time. A core programming activity for me is unit testing via test driven development. I am in the process of trying to find a suitable IDE as a step away from Borland C++ V5...

Could somebody please explain to me how/if Eclipse CDT supports unit testing for C? Is there already an inbuilt unit testing feature for C programs or would I need to choose an external tool (such as one of these) and somehow plug it into Eclipse CDT? Any recommendations from those already travelled down this path?

Thank-you in advance (and apologies for my ignorance), Michelle

Sorry Michelle, you have the wrong newgroup. Please post your question to
the CDT newsgroup.
