Test suites on TPTP??? [message #103564]

Hello,

We are developing RCP applications and we have been investigating on a
testing tool for our code. Apparently TPTP is very powerful for creating
class-level tests, going beyond what the plain JUnit offers.

However, we have not been able to find the way to group a series of tests
into a test suite, just like JUnit does. Obviously we could use JUnit to
create test suites, but then we would be losing all the advantages of TPTP.

Does TPTP support test suites by grouping tests? And test suites that
group tests and other suites? We would need to create a suite per plugin
and then a global suite that tests all the plugins.

Thanks in advance,

Luis.

Hi Luis,
TPTP provides this function. Once you create a TPTP test suite (e.g.
TPTP JUnit test suite) and add test cases in the 'Test Methods' tab of the
test suite editor, you can define a behavior for that test suite. Typically
test suite behaviors include loops with invocations to test cases defined in
that test suite. However, you can also reference external test case/methods
and test suites, producing a hierarchal grouping of tests. You can execute
and report from any level of this hierarchy. For more information, see:

Wow, you are right! I just did a quick check and yes it lets me choose
another test suite.

Thank you very much!!!

Luis.

P.S.: It is a very powerful functionality that is quite hidden in the
documentation, as the "behavior tab" documentation simply says
"invocations allow you to specify which test methods you wish to run, and
in which order", without explaining that you can reference other suites
from there. If TPTP test suite composition is not explained anywhere else,
it deserves a section of its own.
