| <div><p>Dynamic context-sensitive help in Eclipse involves complex |
| interactions between several components, so testing it requires a |
| properly configured runtime platform, with both user interface (UI) |
| components and user assistance (UA) components installed. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Like any other functionality, dynamic context-sensitive help |
| should be tested to assess its quality. |

| For projects that use the DTP help-helper, there are two primary objectives in testing dynamic context-sensitive help:</li> |
| <li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../../../../../projects/dtp/dtp/en/source/c_test_procedures.html">Test Procedures</a></strong><br/> |
| For each UI control associated with a help context, test procedures should verify the following:</li> |
| <li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../../../../../projects/dtp/dtp/en/source/c_plugin_spy.html">Plug-in Spy</a></strong><br/> |
| The Plug-in Spy tool (provided in org.eclipse.pde.runtime, since Eclipse 3.4) shows various information about the workbench, including help context IDs associated with the current (in focus) UI control.</li> |
| <li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../../../../../projects/dtp/dtp/en/source/c_debug_mode.html">Debug Mode</a></strong><br/> |
| The Eclipse platform debug mode can be useful for testing and troubleshooting dynamic context-sensitive help.</li> |
