==Introduction==
|
|
|
|
The '''New Eiffel test wizard''' creates new tests based on information entered by a developer on a series of wizard panes. Each of the three test types supported by AutoTest requires certain unique information. Therefore, there is a unique sequence of wizard panes corresponding to each test type.
|
|
|
|
The '''New Eiffel test wizard''' is invoked by clicking the '''Create new tests''' button ( [[Image:create new tests]] ) on the AutoTest interface toolbar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==The "New Eiffel test wizard" pane==
|
|
|
|
The first pane of the wizard allows you to choose which type of test(s) you wish to create.
|
|
|
|

|
==The manual test wizard sequence==
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating manual tests will involve using the following wizard panes. For a guided tour of this process, see [[Create a manual test]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
===The "New test class" pane===
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this pane you provide a name and cluster for the test class that will be created. You can also indicate that the created class should include redefined versions of features <eiffel>on_prepare</eiffel> (called during preparation for test execution) and/or <eiffel>on_clean</eiffel> (called during clean-up after test execution).

|
|
|
===The "Test routine" pane===
|
|
|
|
This pane gives you the ability to name the test, and to associate it with certain [[Create a manual test#About Tags|tags]].
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
For tags, there are two entry boxes with '''Add''' buttons to their right. You can use the top entry box to create entries for a tag system that you have developed.
|
|
|
|
On the bottom box, use the drop-down arrow to choose a predefined tag, such as associating the test with a target class and routine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==The extracted test wizard sequence==
|
|
|
|
|
|
The '''Extract tests from running application''' radio button is only sensitive if the system is currently running.
|
|
|
|
Creating extracted tests will involve using the following wizard panes. For a guided tour of this process, see [[Using extracted tests]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
===The "New test class" pane===
|
|
|
|
For extracted tests, the second pane to appear is the '''New test class''' pane. It is completed just as for manual tests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
===The "Extract application state" pane===
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
This pane provides a depiction of the current call stack. Choose the routine or routines for which you want extracted tests to be created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
==The generated test wizard sequence==
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creating generated tests will involve using the following wizard panes. For a guided tour of this process, see [[Using generated tests]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
===The "New test class" pane===
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[Image:AutoTest new test wizard 02S 01]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
This pane appears slightly different for generated tests versus manual or extracted tests. The class name is actually a prefix upon which a numeric index will be appended. The index is depicted to the right of the entry box.
|
|
|
|
|
|
===The "Generate tests through AutoTest" pane===
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[Image:AutoTest new test wizard 03S 01]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
On this pane enter the information needed to produce generated tests. Use the '''Class or type name''' entry box in the lower left, along with the <code>+</code> and <code>-</code> buttons, to declare a list of one or more classes as target classes for generated tests.
|
|
|
|
Other information necessary for creating generated tests is:
|
|
|
|
*'''Cutoff (minutes)''' -- How long AutoTest will execute random invocations of the routines in the classes to be tested, specified in minutes.
|
|
*'''Cutoff (invocations)''' -- How long AutoTest will execute random invocations of the routines in the classes to be tested, specified by invocation count.
|
|
*'''Routine timeout (seconds)''' -- How long AutoTest will wait for completion of any invocation.
|
|
*'''Random number generation seed''' -- The seed used for random number generator used during the process. A value of zero instructs AutoTest to use a seed derived from the system clock.
|
|
*'''Use slicing for minimization''' -- Designate '''slicing''' as the approach for minimizing the size of generated tests.
|
|
*'''Use ddmin for minimization''' -- Designate '''ddmin''' as the approach for minimizing the size of generated tests.
|
|
*'''Create html output''' -- Output history and statistics from the synthesizing process in html format.
