Tests¶
Description
Generation of tests from UML.
Overview¶
We hope there is no need for us to emphasize how important testing is for even the most simple products you may be developing. This makes it especially useful to include the creation of both your testing framework and individual tests within your UML model.
Within a new package with a stereotype of
<<tests>>
you can create your base test case class with a stereotype
of
<<plone_testcase>>
and a test setup class with a stereotype of
<<setup_testcase>>. You can then add additional test classes as needed with
a stereotype of either
<<testcase>
or
<<doc_testcase>>.
Base Test Case¶
Creating a class in your tests package with a stereotype
of
<<plone_testcase>>
generates the needed base test case for all other test
cases.
Test Setup¶
Creating a class in your tests package with a stereotype
of
<<setup_testcase>>
generates a testcase for the setup, with pre-defined
common checks.
Test Cases¶
Test Case¶
Creating a class in your tests package with a stereotype
of
<<testcase>>
generates a standard test case class.
Doc Tests¶
Creating a class in your tests package with a stereotype
of
<<doc_testcase>>
generates a doc test file in the
doc
folder of your product with a name of
class
+
.txt. You can use the tag of
doctest_name
on your class (excluding any extension as
.txt
is appended automatically) to indicate a different name
for your generated doc test.
Functional Tests¶
Generate browser functional tests using the
<<plonefunctional_testcase>
stereotype.
Interface Tests¶
Generate interface tests using the
<<interface_testcase>>
stereotype.
It is unverified whether these generated test cases will verify Z3 style interfaces but stay tuned!
