Specification

Parent
tests{}

Notes

• If no test case name is given, a default generic name is provided with the actual test case number within the test set. The name for the first test case would the be 'test-1'
• If both, the data property and the count is provided, the count property is ignored. The number of test repetitions will be determined by the provided data sets.
• If the ignore property is provided with a string value, the test will not be executed, the string value will be printed out instead.
• The rangecheck property might be combined with all other properties.

Example

tests {
    // the component to test.
    model (classname:"ex09.Component") 

    // Run this test once, the pre closure sets the @In before execution, 
    // The 'post' closure test the @Out after execution.
    test(name:"1: single call", 
          pre: { c ->             // this is a closure, 'c' is the component  
             c.tempC = 30         // fields can be accessed
          },         
          post:{ c -> 
             assert c.tempF == 86.0    // using groovy's asserts
    //       println c.tempF         // more statements can follow here.
          }
    )

    // Run this test against each input value from 'data'
    test(name:"2: multiple data input", 
          data:['tempC', 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 ],   // data set with inputs
          post:{ c -> 
             print c.tempF
          }
    )

    // Random number generator within the script.
    Random r = new Random()

    // Run this test 100 times, let a single test fail if it runs 
    // longer than 200ms. Create random 'tempC' values from 10 ... 15 degC 
    // as input; test if the output falls in a expected range.
    test(name: "3: randomized input", count: 100, timeout:200,
          pre:{ c ->
             c.tempC = 10 + (5 * r.nextDouble())
          },

          post:{ c->
             assert c.tempF > 50 && c.tempF < 59
          }
    )
}
