Timing settings change in Testwell CTC++

Question

How to change the Testwell CTC++ timing profile settings from clock ticks to milliseconds(ms)? I searched the CTC++7.1.x manual and it states to change the ctc.ini file, but i couldn't figure it out!

Answer 1

In configuration file ctc.ini there are now the following settings:

TIMER = clock
TICK  = 1
EXECUTION_COST_TYPE = Clock ticks

If you are working at Windows with VC++, the clock() function already gives its result in milliseconds. So you could just change to ctc.ini:

EXECUTION_COST_TYPE = milliseconds

and in the timing report you have "milliseconds" instead of "Clock ticks". (Also TICK = 1000 and EXECUTION COST TYPE = seconds would be a working set up).
