Testing Acceleo generator modules [message #1139764]

Hello everyone,

i would like to run some tests on the Acceleo-generator modules. E.g to make a Unit test, can i use Junit?
Are there other software-test techniques and frameworks (beside of Junit), i could use in cunjunction with Acceleo?

Thanx in advance,
Daniel

Hi,

Testing code generator is always a tricky question. From my experience, here are some of the test that you can set up to maintain your generator.
- compilation test (ensure that the code that you are producing compiles with various, tricky, input models)
- non regression tests (ensure that the generated code does not change)

You can run those with frameworks like JUnit or manually.

Thanx for the tip. If i should do some performance test (execution time or memory requirement ...), is the Eclipse profiling monitor (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/tutorials/profilingtool/profilingexample_32.html) my only option?

Thanx again,
Daniel
