Tester2 offers a comprehensive suite of features for building and managing test cases in complex scenarios. Here's a brief overview of its capabilities:
-
Automatic Test Execution: Tests can be executed automatically based on naming conventions.
-
Test Organisation: Tests can be organised into groups for better management.
-
Flexible Execution Options: You can execute all tests, specific groups of tests, all groups except certain ones, or individual tests.
-
Flow Control with Helper Functions: These functions allow for the continuation or immediate stop of test execution upon failure, facilitating in-depth investigation when needed.
-
INI File Integration: You can include an INI file for, say, machine-dependent parameters, making your tests more adaptable to different environments.
-
Initialisation and Clean-Up Functions: You can define functions that run before any tests are executed and after all tests are completed. These can include group-specific initialisation and clean-up functions.
-
Test Function Return Values: Test functions return integers that are translated into symbolic names like “OK”, “Failure”, “MacOnly”, etc. You can also define additional symbolic names for custom purposes.
-
Execution Control: The framework can be set to pause before executing an initialisation, test or clean-up function, or any combination of them.
-
Batch mode: The tests can be executed in batch mode, resulting in a Boolean indicating success or failure and a detailed report.
-
Helper Functions for Management: These include functions for listing groups and tests and renaming test functions or groups.
-
Code Coverage Analysis: If the optional
CodeCoveragepackage is available, it provides a report on the code coverage of your tests, helping to identify untested parts of your code.
This feature set makes Tester2 an effective tool for testing in various scenarios, especially in projects where test case management and execution flexibility are crucial.
