We already know how to create test suites . Today I would like to cover some additional reasons for creating test suites: initialization, cleaning and test execution isolation. Initialization and Clean up As long as our test class contains just...

In this post I'll try to demonstrate how to use AIF outbound web service adapter. I'll begin with building a sample web service implementing AIF SendMessage "interface". We will validate the web service by building a test. For the end-to-end test we...

In the first part I mentioned the following code: static void RunMySimpleTests(Args _args) { SysTestSuite suite = new SysTestSuite(classstr(MySimpleTests)); SysTestResult result = new SysTestResult(); ; result.addListener(new SysTestListenerPrint...

In this post I will try to describe exceptions handling using SysTest . Very often applications throw exceptions and we have to be able to handle these situations correctly in our UnitTest s. Let's say we have the following application class: public...

In the next series of posts I will demonstrate and explain some of the basic as well as some more advanced features of SysTest . Test classes Let's begin with a very simple test. To create a test, derive a class from SysTestCase class. This is all...
