Running TPTP tests from an external framework [message #52451]

I have a TPTP test suite in Eclipse that I run as part of a test
framework initiated from a unix command line.

I can start the tests by lauching Eclipse with the hyades
AutomationClientAdapter and generate a .execution file with the test
results. However, I have not been able to figure out how to read the
test status from this binary file and communicate the status back to my
test framework. Any ideas on how to do this?

In Eclipse, I can manually use TPTP to generate an HTML report from the
test execution. Is there any way to doing this from the command line?

Hi Hampus,
The *.execution file is a compressed EMF XMI document containing the
test execution results. You may uncompress the file (e.g. using unzip or
WinZip) and parse the XMI (e.g. TPFExecutionResult element). A couple of
useful resources include:

Rational Rose generated web based documentation of the data models:
http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/platform/documents/resources/mod els/index.htm

org.eclipse.hyades.models.common.testprofile.TPFExecutionRes ult JavaDoc:
http://download.eclipse.org/tptp/4.2.0/javadoc/Platform/publ ic/org/eclipse/hyades/models/common/testprofile/TPFExecution Result.html

Test execution events
( http://download.eclipse.org/tptp/4.2.0/javadoc/Platform/publ ic/org/eclipse/
hyades/models/common/testprofile/TPFExecutionEvent.html) are laoded into the
Test model using the:

http://download.eclipse.org/tptp/4.2.0/javadoc/Platform/publ ic/org/eclipse/hyades/loaders/common/XMLexecutionEventLoader .html

See
http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/test/documents/tutorials/eclipse Con2005/EclipseCon2005_Tutorial6.pdf
for an illustration.

There are also a couple of enhancements opened to be able to interpret and
report on test results:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=111542
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=111544

You can vote for them to show that there is interest in implementing them.
