| 52 | For projects that use the DTP help-helper, there are two primary objectives in testing dynamic context-sensitive help:</li> |
| 53 | <li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../../../../../projects/dtp/dtp/en/source/c_test_procedures.html">Test Procedures</a></strong><br/> |
| 54 | For each UI control associated with a help context, test procedures should verify the following:</li> |
| 55 | <li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../../../../../projects/dtp/dtp/en/source/c_plugin_spy.html">Plug-in Spy</a></strong><br/> |
| 56 | 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> |
| 57 | <li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../../../../../projects/dtp/dtp/en/source/c_debug_mode.html">Debug Mode</a></strong><br/> |
| 58 | The Eclipse platform debug mode can be useful for testing and troubleshooting dynamic context-sensitive help.</li> |
